About this file
This document is a supplemental clause establishing an ombudsman process for federal contract acquisition FA461326Q2004 under the Department of the Air Force Contracting Compass.
An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate resolution of concerns from offerors and potential offerors for this acquisition. The ombudsman maintains strict confidentiality of concern sources and does not participate in proposal evaluation, source selection, or protest adjudication. Interested parties must first address concerns directly with the contracting officer before consulting the ombudsman. If unresolved at the contracting officer level, parties may escalate to AFICC/KG (OL-GSC) Director of Contracting at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, or ultimately to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman at the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting) level in Washington, DC. The ombudsman has no authority to render binding decisions on the agency. Inquiries regarding solicitation copies, offer due dates, or technical requirements must be directed to the contracting officer rather than the ombudsman.

Attachment 3 – Supplemental Clauses
FA461326Q2004
DAF Contracting Compass Part 01
Ombudsman
1. 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.
2. 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).
3. If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact AFICC/KG (OL-GSC) Director of Contracting, 841 Fairchild Ave, Barksdale AFB, LA 71110, phone number (318) 456-6336, facsimile number (318) 456-7861.. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the Center/MAJCOM/FLDCOM/DRU ombudsman level, may be brought by the interested party for further consideration to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (571) 256-2395, facsimile number (571) 256-2431.
4. The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.
5. Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the contracting officer.
