15. 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 RFO FAR 33.104. 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.

To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Source Selection Authority will integrate the evaluation of Past/Present Performance, Technical and Price as set out in the solicitation. In terms of the relative importance of the factors, the Technical factor is approximately equal to the Present/ Past Performance and when combined, the non-price factors are approximately equal to the Price Factor. The firm that represents the best value to the Government will be selected for award in accordance with RFO FAR 15.103-1, Tradeoff Approach.

1.2. To arrive at a Best Value decision this acquisition will utilize the RFO FAR Part 15.103-1 tradeoff process unless the lowest priced offeror (with a price deemed reasonable and realistic) is also deemed to be the highest rated in terms of non-price evaluation criteria. If the lowest priced offeror is also the highest rated in terms of non-price Factors, no tradeoff is necessary. Further, there is no tradeoff necessary between any offer that is lower priced and higher rated in terms of non-Price Factors with respect to any other offers that are higher priced and lower rated for the non- Price Factors.
