If you want to file a protest under the AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below. All other agency-level protests should be sent to the contracting officer for resolution. HQ Army Material CommandOffice of Command Counsel9301 Chapek Rd, Room 2-1SE3401Ft.
