NG Agency Protest Program:
NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National
Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) or other external forum.
Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods as if filed at
the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be
filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency's Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG
protest procedures.
To be timely, the protests must be filed with the periods specified in FAR 33.103. To file a protest under the NG Agency
Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:
