NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. Parties who believe a specific procurement is unfair or otherwise defective are encouraged to use the Coast Guard Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP), rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. The OPAP is designed to resolve contractor protests in a faster, less expensive manner. Concerns of interested parties can be resolved through independent, government binding adjudication taking place outside the procuring activity's chain of command.

How do I file an agency protest?

Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman.

Informal Forum Interested parties should first direct their concerns to the responsible contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the OPAP. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest

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, the protester may file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined 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. If the protester fails to submit the required information, as outlined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 33.103, 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).

Protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted to:

Department of Homeland Security United States Coast Guard (CG-91)

Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests Email: OPAP@uscg.mil

For questions pertaining to the OPAP program, please contact the Ombudsman hotline at 202- 372-3695.

CONTRACT CLAUSES

FAR 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

(OCT 2018) ADDENDUM

(1) FAR 52.204-1 APPROVAL OF CONTRACT (DEC 1989)

This contract is subject to the written approval of a Contracting Officer within CPD and shall not be binding until so approved.

(2) FAR 52.217-7 OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY – SEPARATELY PRICED

LINE ITEM (MAR 1989) TAILORED

The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item, identified in the Schedule as an option item, in the quantity and at the price stated in the Schedule. The Government has the right to require performance of these items at the quantities deemed necessary. Therefore, the

Government may exercise an option item on more than one occasion during the contract performance period.

The Contracting Officer will provide initial notification of the exercise of an option either verbally and/or by e-mail. Such options may be exercised at any phase during the contract performance period as stated herein, or any extension of the performance period; however, after midnight on 01May2019, the contractor shall have the right to refuse to accept the award of the optional items. To maintain the contract performance period the Contractor shall commence performance of an option item immediately upon receiving initial notification; but, not later than

24 hours thereafter, unless proper sequencing of the work requires a delay in beginning performance of the option. In that case, the option item shall be commenced as soon as proper sequencing permits. The exercise of any option item listed in the Schedule will not normally extend the contract performance period. However, the Contracting Officer may consider a request by the Contractor for contract extension if an option is exercised after 50% of the contract performance period has expired. Delivery of added items shall continue at the same rate that like items are called for under the contract, unless the parties otherwise agree.

(14) DISCOVERIES AND CHANGES TO CONTRACT:

Condition Found Report, and Change Requests will be transmitted electronically by using email.

The bullets below display the process of how these documents are to be followed for the duration of the contract performance period:

(a) Condition Found Report (CFR) - All readings and inspections are to be taken within 24 hours after the machinery or system is opened. All reports of reading and inspections required by the specifications shall be submitted to the COR in writing using a "Condition Found Report (CFR)" form, within 24 hours after the readings and/or inspections are made.

Promptness in taking and reporting readings is particularly important for underbody work items such as shaft bearing or rudder bearing clearances. Often during the progress of a work item, conditions are discovered by the Contractor which are considered abnormal for reasons of safety, expected reliability, health, or habitability. These conditions must be brought to the attention of the Coast Guard using a CFR. Details provided by the Contractor in a CFR are important because the CFR may result in a contract change. To speed the contract change progress, the

Contractor should include in his/her CFR the following details as a minimum:
