It encourages parties to first seek informal resolution with the contracting officer and if needed, file a formal protest with either the contracting officer or ombudsman. Formal protests must include the required information per FAR 33.103(d)(2) and be timely filed per FAR 33.103(e) to ensure resolution within 35 calendar days. Election to protest to the contracting officer or ombudsman precludes filing with the Government Accountability Office or other external forum until the agency protest concludes.
