About this file

This document is Attachment 4 - Supplemental Clauses from an Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) federal contract solicitation, containing four contract clauses dated July 2023 and June 2024.

The AFGSC Ombudsman clause establishes a dispute resolution mechanism for offerors and potential offerors. Before contacting an ombudsman, interested parties must first address concerns with the contracting officer. If unresolved, parties may escalate to the AFGSC ombudsman at the Air Force Installation Contracting Center, Operating Location - Global Strike (AFICC/KG OL-GSC) via email at ig.afica_kg.workflow@us.af.mil. Further escalation is available 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. The ombudsman maintains confidentiality, does not participate in proposal evaluation or source selection, and has no binding authority. Inquiries regarding solicitation copies, due dates, or technical clarifications must be directed to the contracting officer, not the ombudsman.

The Health and Safety on Government Installations clause requires contractors to implement reasonable safety measures and comply with Air Force Occupational Safety and Health (AFOSH) Standards as directed by the contracting officer. Violations that are not promptly corrected may result in contract termination under the Default clause. The Contractor Access to the Department of the Air Force Installations clause (June 2024) mandates that contractors obtain base identification and vehicle passes for personnel with frequent installation access, comply with AFI 31-101 and DODMAN 5200.02_AFMAN 16-1405 for unescorted entry to controlled areas, provide after-hours contact information for the Emergency Mass Notification System (EMNS), and ensure return of all credentials upon contract completion. Failure to comply with access requirements may result in withholding of final payment.

AFGSC Ombudsman July 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 bidprotests, 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 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/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.
