(OCT 24) AFSC Ombudsman An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern. Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMBC A-76 competition performance decisions). If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the Center ombudsmen, Ms. Regina E. Marquardt-Chihuahua, 6038 Aspen Ave. Bldg. 1289 Upstairs, Hill AFB, UT 84056 Phone: (801) 777-6000, regina.marquardt-chihuahua@us.af.mil, ragina.marquardt-chicuahua@us.af.mil.
