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 timeconsuming 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 protesters 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 agencys 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.
