When requested, the Ombudsman will 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. Interested parties are invited to call Colonel Thomas J. Mackey at (617) 377-5106. The Ombudsman should only be contacted with issues that have previously been brought to the attention of the program manager and/or the contracting officer and could not be satisfactorily resolved at that level.
