About this file

This document contains two DAFFARS (Defense Acquisition Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) supplemental clauses for solicitation FA255025Q0086, issued by the United States Space Force (USSF). The first clause (5352.201-9101) establishes an ombudsman process for addressing contractor concerns, detailing the procedures for raising issues, contact information for USSF and Air Force ombudsman representatives, and explicitly stating the ombudsman's limitations. The ombudsman can hear and facilitate resolution of concerns while maintaining confidentiality, but cannot render binding decisions or participate in proposal evaluations or contract disputes.

The second clause (5352.223-9000) focuses on the elimination of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS), prohibiting contractors from providing services or products that require or specify the use of specific ODS in testing, operation, or maintenance. The clause lists prohibited substances, including specific Halons (1011, 1202, 1211, 1301, 2402), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) with detailed chemical designations, and substances like Carbon Tetrachloride, Methyl Chloroform, and Methyl Bromide. A note clarifies that materials using these substances as minor constituents do not meet the Department of the Air Force's definition of a Class I ODS.

DAFFARS Supplemental Clauses (Incorporated by Full Text) –FA255025Q0086

5352.201-9101 USSF Ombudsman (Jul 2023)

(a) 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.

(b) 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).

(c) 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 AFICC/OL- SPC Director or Deputy Director of Contracting, 250 Peterson Blvd, Ste 315, Peterson AFB, CO 80914, (P)719- 304-4143 or 719-314- 6917,Workflow e-mail: 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.

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

(e) 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.
