An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The purpose of the Ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the program manager or contracting officer, but to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. 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. Potential offerors not already on the source list may request to be placed on the list by submitting a request to the Contract Specialist at the address listed above. Requests should indicate whether the concern is: large, small, US or foreign owned/controlled, and it should specify a point of contact and applicable mailing address and phone number. For this acquisition, a concern will be considered small if its annual receipts do not exceed $18 million. The Air Force is maintaining this list for informational purposes only. Neither this DRFP nor the eventual RFP will be distributed in hard copy through the mail. (0172)
