- The 10th Mission Support Group, Directorate of Contracting, United States Air Force Academy, Colorado, intends to award on a Sole Source basis a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BP) to SkyVenture Colorado. The purpose of this BPA is to provide wind tunnel training for the AF Academy cadets. The justification for awarding sole source to SkyVenture is the location from the USAFA to Lonetree, CO. The facility needs to be close to the academy for convenience, so not to affect cadets academic curriculum and budgeting issues. SkyVenture is located only 45 miles from the academy. All qualified sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by this agency. Responses need to provide evidence the offeror can provide the required services. Questions should be addressed to Kim Cooper, Contract Specialist, USAF Academy (719) 333-2264 or send via e-mail to kim.cooper@usafa.af.mil 5352.201-9101 OMBUDSMAN (AUG 2005) (a) 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 party to another official who can resolve the concern. (b) 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). (c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the USAF Academy Ombudsmen, Kelly Snyder 8110 Industrial Drive, Ste 103 USAFA, CO 80840 Telephone number 719-333-2074 FAX 719-333-9018 email: kelly.snyder@usafa.af.mil Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the MAJCOM/DRU level, may be brought by the concerned party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (703) 588-7004, facsimile number (703) 588-1067.
