The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the 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 OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, interested parties are invited to call the WR Air Logistics Center Ombudsman, Mr. Alan Mathis, WRALC/XP, at (478) 926-2183. DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER FOR SOLICITATION REQUESTS, VERIFY OFFER DUE DATE, OR CLARIFY TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS. Such inquiries shall be directed to the Contracting Officer.
