3. If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Mr. Juan Martinez, Deputy Director, 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.
