The NG Agency Protest Program is designed to provide an alternative dispute resolution mechanism for addressing concerns regarding contract awards with the National Guard, rather than escalating protests to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The program mandates that any protest is lodged within periods specified in FAR 33.103, with resolutions aimed to be completed within 35 calendar days. Parties may file protests with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency's Protest Decision Authority, but not both. All protests should be directed to the appropriate address provided, and additional protest information is accessible through designated online resources. This initiative reflects a structured approach within federal procurement processes, promoting resolution while ensuring compliance with established rules and timelines related to RFPs, grants, and contracting activities.
