    National Guard Protest Procedures.pdf
    The National Guard Agency Protest Program provides a mechanism for interested parties to resolve concerns regarding contract awards or performance through an alternative dispute resolution process rather than escalating disputes to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). During a protest, contract activities are suspended similarly to GAO procedures, with a goal to resolve issues within 35 calendar days. Protests can be filed with the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency's Protest Decision Authority, ensuring timely submission as outlined in FAR 33.103. Interested parties must explicitly request resolution through the NG Agency Protest Program when submitting their protests. For comprehensive guidelines and information, interested individuals can refer to the National Guard Bureau's designated online resources. This program reflects the National Guard's efforts to streamline conflict resolution in contracting processes associated with federal grants and requests for proposals (RFPs).
