About this file

This file is Appendix A containing Department of the Air Force (DAF) provision and clause verbiage, previously known as DAFFARS, which serves as a template for standard contract provisions and clauses rather than a specific procurement solicitation.

The appendix includes four key contractual provisions: (1) an Ombudsman clause establishing a dispute resolution mechanism for offerors and potential offerors, with specific contact procedures requiring initial resolution attempts through the contracting officer before escalation to the ombudsman, and ultimately to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman at SAF/AQC if unresolved; (2) an Elimination of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances clause prohibiting contractors from providing products or services that require Class I ODSs (including specific halons, CFCs, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, and methyl bromide) in testing, operation, or maintenance; (3) a Health and Safety on Government Installations clause requiring contractors to implement reasonable precautions to prevent accidents, preserve health and safety, comply with AFOSH standards as directed by the contracting officer, and comply with changes to safety requirements, with violations subject to contract termination; and (4) a Contractor Access to Department of the Air Force Installations clause detailing requirements for obtaining base identification and vehicle passes, submitting written requests listing personnel names and access dates, complying with security procedures per DAFI 31-101 and DODMAN 5200.02, registering personnel in the Emergency Mass Notification System, and returning all credentials upon contract completion, with noncompliance potentially resulting in withholding of final payment.

Appendix A

DAF Part Provision and Clause Verbiage (Previously DAFFARS)

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 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: ig.afica_kg.workflow@us.af.mil. 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.
