About this file
This file is an Ombudsman Directive for the Tube Bending and Flare Tube Machines solicitation (FA488726Q0064) at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. The document establishes the ombudsman process for offerors and potential offerors to raise concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations regarding the acquisition. Juan Martinez, Deputy Director of Contracting at AFICC/KT, serves as the primary ombudsman and can be reached at 210-652-1722 or juan.martinez.2@us.af.mil. Interested parties must first address concerns directly with the contracting officer before consulting the ombudsman, and this consultation does not extend any applicable timelines for bid protests, debriefings, or other formal processes. The ombudsman maintains strict confidentiality of concern sources and does not participate in proposal evaluation, source selection, or protest adjudication.
For escalation beyond the Center level, concerns may be referred to the Department of the Air Force ombudsman at the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting) office, located at SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, with contact information at (571) 256-2395 or facsimile (571) 256-2431. The ombudsman has no authority to render binding decisions on the agency. The directive specifies that inquiries regarding solicitation copies, offer due dates, or technical requirement clarifications should be directed to the contracting officer rather than the ombudsman.

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, Juan Martinez, Deputy Director of Contracting, AFICC/KT, 2035 First Street West, JBSA Randolph TX 78150-4304, telephone 210-652-1722, juan.martinez.2@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.
4. The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency.
5. 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.
