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. Ombudsmen do not participate in the evaluation of responses, source selection, or formulation of acquisition strategy. Interested parties are invited to call the Electronic Systems Center s Ombudsman, Col Lee Hughes, (781) 377-5106. The Ombudsman should be contacted only with issues or problems that have previously been brought to the attention of the program manager and/or contracting officer and could not be satisfactorily resolved at that level. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses to this notice received within 30 days after release of the notice will be considered by the Government. The Government anticipates award of the contract on or about 15 July 1998. This sysnopsis does not constitute a Request for Proposal, it does not restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach, nor should it be construed as a commitment by the Government.
