About this file
This document is a template containing standard federal solicitation provisions and clauses for a Department of the Air Force contract acquisition.
The document includes three primary provisions. First, the Potential Organizational Conflict of Interest clause requires offerors to disclose any previous or ongoing work associated with the contemplated acquisition and permits the Government to impose restrictions on future work if award is made. The contracting officer may modify or delete this clause during negotiations, unless the alternate verbiage is selected, which makes the clause non-negotiable. Second, the Ombudsman provision establishes a formal dispute resolution mechanism for offerors and potential offerors. Ms. Susan Skaggs (primary) and Mrs. Tiffany Rodriguez (alternate) serve as ombudsmen at Tinker Air Force Base; unresolved concerns may be escalated to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman at SAF/AQC in Washington, DC. The ombudsman maintains confidentiality, does not participate in proposal evaluation or source selection, and has no authority to render binding decisions. Interested parties must first address concerns with the contracting officer before consulting the ombudsman, and consultation does not alter timelines for protests or other procedural processes. Third, the Elimination of Use of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances clause prohibits contractors from providing services, products, or specifications requiring Class I ODS in testing, operation, or maintenance activities. Prohibited substances include specific halons (1011, 1202, 1211, 1301, 2402), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC-11 through CFC-217 and blends R-500 through R-503), and carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, and methyl bromide.

OMBUDSMAN
a. An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.
b. Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A- 76 competition performance decisions).
c. If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman:
Ms. Susan Skaggs (primary) 3001 Staff Dr, Tinker AFB OK 73145-3303 405-739- 2372; susan.skaggs@us.af.mil

d. The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.
