The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in Federal Acquisition Regulation 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the HQ AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below.

2. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and technical requirements.

3. The Government intends to make award without discussions, unless the Contracting Officer determines that discussions are necessary. Offerors should provide their most favorable prices in their initial offers.

C. Price Evaluation Factor. Offerors shall complete the pricing information with pricing for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), including all Option Years.
