About this file

This document outlines the National Guard Agency Protest Procedures, which establish an alternative dispute resolution forum for interested parties to address concerns regarding National Guard contracts.

The National Guard Agency Protest Program provides an alternative to filing protests with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forums. Protests filed under this program receive the same contract award or performance suspension protections as GAO protests and operate within the same timeframes. The National Guard targets a 35-calendar-day resolution timeframe from filing. Interested parties may file a protest with either the Contracting Officer or the National Guard Agency's Protest Decision Authority, but not both. To be timely, protests must comply with filing periods specified in FAR 33.103 and must explicitly request resolution under the National Guard Agency Protest Program. Protests should be submitted to the National Guard Bureau, Office of the Director of Acquisitions/Head of Contracting Activity, ATTN: NGB-AQ-O, 111 S. George Mason Dr., Arlington, VA 22204, or via email at ng.ncr.ngb-arng.mbx.ngb-task-order-ombudsman@army.mil. All other agency-level protests should be directed to the Contracting Officer at the address provided in the solicitation per FAR clause 52.233-2. Additional protest information is available on the National Guard public website and the Directorate of Acquisitions internal portal.

National Guard Protest Procedures

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:

National Guard Bureau

Office of the Director of Acquisitions/ Head of Contracting Activity

ATTN: NGB-AQ-O

111 S. George Mason Dr.

Arlington, VA 22204

Email: ng.ncr.ngb-arng.mbx.ngb-task-order-ombudsman@army.mil

All other agency-level protests should be sent to the Contracting Officer for resolution at the address in the solicitation. See FAR clause 52.233-2.
