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:
