AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM

If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible Contracting Officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC.

To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. Send protests (other than protests to the Contracting Officer) to:

Headquarters U.S. Army Material Command

Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road

Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840
