The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) wasestablished to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and timeconsuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant aprevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO).Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as anAlternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or someexternal forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to filea formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman.Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCGprocurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicableContracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interestedparties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Underthis informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use ofan informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency orother forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the followinginformation to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, ContractingOfficer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest,protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officertough open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an IndependentReview is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to eitherthe Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program.Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract awardor performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined inwriting to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests inless than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forthin FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of theprotest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filedwithin the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP programshould be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by handdelivery to the Contracting Officer.Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to theContracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees notto file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an externalforum, the agency protest will be dismissed.The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.
