The 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 another external forum.

Contract awards or performance are 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:

Characteristics For SCBA Fill Station

Storage Bottles:

1. The system shall be comprised of four (4), 6000 psi, DOT/UN approved, 510 cu.ft. cylinders.

2. Each tank is equipped with a new, soft seat valve, complete with appropriate approved safety relief device. Tanks are to be painted yellow with a 9”x6” vinyl label stating the cylinders pressure rating and gas the cylinder is being used for. Each tank is to have been internally inspected prior to being valved, with a dated sticker attesting to this inspection. A dome-type protective cap is to be supplied with each tank to protect the valve during shipping or transportation.

3. A 6000-psi manifold tee is to be supplied for each tank and a 7000-psi pigtail to connect each tank to the other. For one end of the system an elbow and a 7000 psi 8-foot flexible hose are to be provided to connect from the compressor, and for the other end it is to be provided with a tee, a 2-1/2-inch 10,000 psi line gauge and the filler hose.

4. A heavy-duty 6 ft. filler hose is to be provided. On the fill end shall be a rubber-covered 0-7500 psi gauge, a soft seat line valve, a bleeder valve and a hand-tight wheel and soft tip nipple to connect to any brand SCBA bottle.

5. A 4ft. steel rail section and four ridged clamp sets are to be provided to secure the tanks in place, properly spaced.

6. Any components or fittings necessary for standard installation, but not mentioned above, will be included.

7. A 5-year warranty is to be provided on all cascade components, including the tanks, fittings, gauges and valves.

8. If this cascade system is being purchased along with a compressor, the following may be added: The delivery technician will install and hook up all the above components at the time of the compressor start-up and test the entire system to full working pressure.

Cascade:

The air storage system shall be controlled by an automatic cascade module. The module utilizes highly reliable electro pneumatic solenoid valves in lieu of pneumatic controlled permissive valves which require frequent adjustment and maintenance. The control module shall be pressure rated for service at up to 7000 psi service and shall be rated for continual Dual Function capability wherein the system shall be able to draw from any specific air storage bank while also replenishing another air storage bank. The system shall be designed to constantly maintain a high-pressure bank maximizing the ability to top off SCBA cylinders.

The fill station shall be built and tested exceeding the current standards as established by NFPA 1901, 2016 Edition. Additionally, the fill station shall be proof tested utilizing the largest, by volume, 5500 psi SCBA cylinders available at the time of the fill station manufacturers’ specification generation.
