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 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.

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 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.
