About this file
This document is Attachment 4 of a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (RFQ FA470426Q7010) for TMO Office Equipment and Supplies, containing Air Force-specific terms and conditions rather than product or service requirements.
The attachment establishes two primary regulatory requirements for contractors. First, it designates an ombudsman, Ms. Lisa A. Gross at Scott Air Force Base, to hear and facilitate resolution of concerns from offerors and potential offerors. Interested parties must first address concerns to the contracting officer before contacting the ombudsman. The ombudsman maintains strict confidentiality, does not participate in proposal evaluation or source selection, and has no authority to bind the agency. Concerns unresolved at the center level may be escalated to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman at SAF/AQC. The ombudsman cannot provide solicitation copies, verify offer due dates, or clarify technical requirements—such inquiries must go to the contracting officer. Second, the attachment prohibits contractors from providing any service or product that requires the use of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) in testing, operation, or maintenance, with specific exceptions for manufacturing. Prohibited Class I ODS products include Halons (1011, 1202, 1211, 1301, and 2402), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs and specified blends), Carbon Tetrachloride, Methyl Chloroform, and Methyl Bromide. Materials containing these substances as minor constituents do not meet the Air Force definition of Class I ODS and are therefore permitted.

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION

FA470426Q7010
Attachment 4 - Air Force Specific 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.
(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;
RFQ FA470426Q7010
(2) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs): CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-13, CFC-111, CFC-112, CFC-113, CFC-114, CFC-115, CFC-211, CFC-212, CFC-213, CFC-214, CFC-215, CFC-216, and CFC-217, and the blends R- 500, R-501, R-502, and R-503; and
(3) Carbon Tetrachloride, Methyl Chloroform, and Methyl Bromide.
[NOTE: Material that uses one or more of these Class I ODSs as minor constituents do not meet the Air
Force definition of a Class I ODS.]
