About this file

This is an attachment to a federal contract solicitation establishing terms and conditions for the Ombudsman process in a United States Space Force (USSF) acquisition. An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others participating in this acquisition while maintaining strict confidentiality of the concern's source.

The ombudsman does not participate in proposal evaluation, source selection, or protest adjudication, and has no authority to render binding decisions on the agency. Interested parties must first address concerns directly with the contracting officer before consulting the ombudsman. For USSF acquisitions excluding Space and Missile Center (SMC) acquisitions, the Director of Contracts at Air Force Installation Contracting Center, Operating Location - Space (AFICC/KS OL-SPC) should be contacted via email at afica.ks.wf@us.af.mil. Unresolved issues may be escalated to the Air Force ombudsman at the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone (571) 256-2395, facsimile (571) 256-2431. The ombudsman should not be contacted for solicitation copies, offer due date verification, or technical requirement clarification; such inquiries must be directed to the contracting officer.

Attachment 4 - DAF Terms and Conditions

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 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.

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).

If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, for USSF (United States Space Force) acquisitions (excluding SMC acquisitions) please contact the Director of Contracts, Air Force Installation Contracting Center, Operating Location - Space (AFICC/KS OL-SPC) via the following e-mail workflow address: afica.ks.wf@us.af.mil. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the Center/MAJCOM/DRU/ SMC ombudsman level, may be brought by the interested party for further consideration to 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.

The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.

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.
