United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation.

OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the

U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, 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 Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the

Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the 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 award or performance is justified, in writing, for reasons of unusual and compelling urgency or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the

Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing.

Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program shall be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting

Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is (202) 372-3695.

Total Minimum Guarantee Amount: $500

This contract will obligate the minimum guarantee in the amount of $500.00. Once the first task order for Grit Blasting services has been issued to your company, the $500 will be used to pay your invoices for that work. If your company does not receive a task order for UHP services during the first ordering period, you will invoice for the minimum guarantee, $500.00, and it will be paid at that time.

Note: If the contract is Terminated for Cause before the minimum guarantee is paid, the minimum guarantee or the remainder of the minimum guarantee shall NOT be paid to the Contractor.

Total Not-To-Exceed Contract Ceiling: $10,000,000.00

All TOs issued pursuant to this contract shall not exceed the Not-To-Exceed Contract Ceiling. The contract will remain in place and TOs may be issued in accordance with the contract until the Not-To-

Exceed Contract Ceiling has been used in its entirety or until the contract period of performance ends, whichever comes first.

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

The quantities shown for all CLINS reflect estimated quantities only. The value of each task order issued shall be calculated by multiplying the unit price per square foot (which comes directly from the vendor’s price proposal) by the total square feet required to be grit blasted for each vessel. All items identified by CLIN in the Schedule shall be ordered by the issuance of individual task orders. Each task order will represent the Grit Blasting and Coating Applications services for a single cutter or vessel.

Refer to FAR Clause 52.216-18, Ordering. Prior to issuance of any task order, the contracting office will submit a Request for Quote (RFQ) to each vendor via email for the anticipated services required. The vendors will have five (5) business days to respond to the RFQ. Once the response(s) have been received by the contracting office, they will be evaluated with fair opportunity to compete on a best value basis.

A unilateral task order will be issued to the selected vendor via email.

Any Coast Guard Warranted Contracting Officer is authorized to issue orders under this contract.

OPTIONS

Each option extending the term of this contract shall be for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of each option, if exercised.
