Bidders should be aware of these procedures if they intend to protest a contract award or decision related to a National Guard opportunity. The document provides instructions on how to file an agency-level protest, including the address and email for the National Guard Bureau's Head of Contracting Activity.

The Government intends to award one to two firm-fixed-price purchase orders for Intermediate Level Repair/Overhaul of F-16 Radar Absorption Panels. The award will be made to the responsible offeror(s) whose quote represents the best value, considering both price and non-price factors.
