Potential offerors should communicate first with the Contracting Officer to request information, pose questions, and voice concerns before contacting the Ombudsman. In those instances where offerors cannot obtain resolution from the Contracting Officer, they are invited to contact the PL Ombudsman, Colonel Dayton L. Silver, Phillips Laboratory Vice Commander, at 505/846-4964, or at 3550 Aberdeen Avenue SE, Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5776.
