NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office

(GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute

Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum.

Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the

Contracting Officer or Ombudsman. Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific

USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer.

If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast

Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the

Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program.

Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the

Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to

OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting Officer or the

Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.

Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers’ compensation and occupational disease statutes.

Employer’s liability coverage of at least

$100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers’ compensation to be written by private carriers. (See 28.305(c) for treatment of contracts subject to the Defense Base Act.)

2(c).

The contracting officer shall require automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.

NOTE 1: It is acceptable to submit a letter from the Insurance Company stating a Certificate of Insurance will be provided upon contract award. A letter from the Contractor will not be acceptable.

NOTE 2: The insurance policy shall contain the following endorsement: “Any cancellation or material change in the coverage adversely affecting the Government’s interest shall not be effective unless the insurer or the contractor gives 30 days written notice of cancellation or change to the Contracting Officer”.

C.14 CGAP Subchapter 3004.1301-90 Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and

Contractors and Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) (July 2016)

(a) “Contractor employee” means an employee of a firm, or an individual, under contract or subcontract to the Coast

Guard to provide services and who requires physical and/or logical access to information systems and/or facilities.

(b) Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 mandates a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification for Federal employees and contractor employees. The Common Access Card (CAC) is a personal identification card for the Department of Defense/Uniformed Services and complies with HSPD-12. The Coast Guard has instituted the CAC as its HSPD-12 compliant personal identification card for contractor and subcontractor employees who are required to access a Coast Guard, Department of Defense (DoD), or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication to perform their contractual duties. The

Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) is the automated application process for obtaining a CAC.

(c) Contractor and subcontractor employees working pursuant to this contract who are required to access a Coast Guard, DoD, or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need PKI authentication to perform their contractual duties shall use TASS to obtain a CAC.

(d) The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) shall serve as the TASS Trusted Agent and is responsible for creating contractor accounts in the TASS approving, returning, or rejecting CAC applications (as applicable); re-verifying assigned contractors every six months; revoking contractor and employee eligibility for a CAC; and confiscating a CAC when the contract expires or when a contractor or subcontractor employee stops working under the contract.

(e) Current standards require a favorable fingerprint check and verification of an initiated or completed investigation for all incoming Coast Guard contractor personnel before CAC issuance. The COR shall ensure that contractor personnel satisfy the security requirements for CAC issuance, and that completed fingerprint cards and electronic questionnaires for investigation processing are submitted to the U.S. Coast Guard Security Center (SECCEN).
