About this file
This is Attachment 3 of a Request for Quote (RFQ) for 336 TRG Mountaineering Equipment issued by the 92d Contracting Squadron under solicitation number FA462026QA289. The document does not address specific products or services required, pricing terms, response dates, or award information.
The attachment establishes two administrative requirements for this acquisition. First, it designates Ms. Lisa A. Gross (AFICC/KM, Scott AFB IL) as the ombudsman to hear and facilitate resolution of offeror concerns, with escalation available to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman at SAF/AQC. The ombudsman process operates independently of program management and source selection but does not bind the agency. Offerors must first address concerns with the contracting officer before consulting the ombudsman, and inquiries regarding solicitation copies, due dates, or technical requirements must be directed to the contracting officer, not the ombudsman. Second, the attachment prohibits contractors from providing any service or product with specifications or documents that require Class I Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) in testing, operation, or maintenance activities. The prohibition identifies specific halons, chlorofluorocarbons, and chemicals (carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, methyl bromide) as Class I ODSs, with an exception for materials where these substances serve only as minor constituents and do not meet the Air Force definition of a Class I ODS.

Ombudsman
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 , 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.
(a) 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).
(b) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Ms. Lisa A. Gross, 510 POW/MIA Drive, Scott AFB IL 62225-5022, 618- 299-0267, lisa.gross@us.af.mil of AFICC/KM. 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.
(c) The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.
(d) 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.
Elimination of Use of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS)
(a) Contractors shall not:
(1) Provide any service or product with any specification, standard, drawing, or other document that requires the use of a Class I ODS in the test, operation, or maintenance of any system, subsystem, item, component, or process; or
(2) Provide any specification, standard, drawing, or other document that establishes a test, operation, or maintenance requirement that can only be met by use of a Class I ODS as part of this contract/order.
[Note: This prohibition does not apply to manufacturing.]
(b) For the purposes of Air Force policy, the following products that are pure (i.e., they meet the relevant product specification identified in AFI 32-7086) are Class I ODSs:
(1) Halons: 1011, 1202, 1211, 1301, and 2402;
