the solicitation on request, and any offer such a firm might submit
will be evaluated without prejudice. An Ombudsman has been appointed to
hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal
and proposal development phase of this acquisition. The purpose of the
Ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the program director 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. Ombudsman do not
participate in the evaluation of responses, source selection, or
formulation of acquisition strategy. Interested parties are invited to
call the Electronic System Center's Ombudsman, Col Lee Hughes, (617)

problems 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. Again, this synopsis is for
information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute an
Invitation For Bid or RFP, nor does its issuance restrict the
Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. Request you direct
any questions or comments to either Ms Oliver or Maj Emmons. See
