About this file
This is a supplemental clause document for federal contract FA461326R0006 issued by the Department of the Air Force establishing an ombudsman process for this acquisition.
The clause appoints an ombudsman to hear and facilitate resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and other interested parties. The ombudsman maintains strict confidentiality regarding concern sources and does not participate in proposal evaluation, source selection, or protest adjudication. Interested parties must first address concerns to the contracting officer before consulting the ombudsman. If the contracting officer cannot resolve the issue, parties may escalate to AFICC/KG (OL-GSC) Director of Contracting at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, or further to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman at the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (Contracting) office in Washington DC. The ombudsman has no binding authority over agency decisions. The clause explicitly prohibits using the ombudsman for administrative inquiries such as solicitation copies, offer due dates, or technical clarifications, which must be directed to the contracting officer.

Attachment 3 – Supplemental Clauses FA461326R0006
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.
