About this file
This document is an Attachment 1b containing Supplemental Clauses for a federal contract (Solicitation Number FA461325Q2004) dated 9 September 2025, specifically focusing on the AFGSC (Air Force Global Strike Command) Ombudsman clause. The clause outlines the role and procedures for an ombudsman in the acquisition process, emphasizing that the ombudsman is appointed to hear and facilitate resolution of concerns from offerors and potential offerors while maintaining strict confidentiality. The ombudsman cannot participate in proposal evaluations, source selection, or dispute adjudication, and has no binding decision-making authority.
The document provides specific contact information for escalating unresolved concerns, including the Director of Contracts at Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC/KG OL-GSC), with an email workflow address of ig.afica_kg.workflow@us.af.mil. If issues cannot be resolved at the center level, interested parties may contact the Air Force ombudsman at the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (Contracting), located at SAF/AQC in the Pentagon, with provided phone and fax numbers. The clause explicitly states that potential offerors must first address concerns with the contracting officer and cannot use the ombudsman for solicitation copies, offer due date verification, or technical requirement clarifications.

(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, for AFGSC (Air Force Global Strike Command) acquisitions please contact the Director of Contracts, Air Force Installation Contracting Center, Operating Location - Global Strike (AFICC/KG OL-GSC) via the following e-mail workflow address:
