About this file

The document is a guidance document for the National Guard Bureau (NGB) Agency Protest Program, which provides instructions for interested parties to file protests related to contract opportunities. The program encourages alternative dispute resolution through the National Guard rather than external forums like the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Key details include:

Protest Filing Procedures: Protests must be filed within periods specified in FAR 33.103 and can be submitted to either the Contracting Officer or the NGB Agency's Protest Decision Authority, but not both. The protest must request resolution under the NGB Agency Protest Program and be sent to the National Guard Bureau, Office of the Director of Acquisitions at 111 S. George Mason Dr. Arlington, VA 22204, or via email to ng.ncr.ngb-arng.mbx.ngb-task-order-ombudsman@mail.mil. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest, with a decision goal of resolving protests within 35 calendar days from filing.

Text version

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@mail.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.
