Accordingly, the Ombudsman does not participate in the preparation of solicitations, the evaluation of proposals, or the source selection process; and, therefore, for routine matters on individual solicitations, contact the contract specialist. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. Should you desire to contact the Ombudsman, he can be reached at 937-255-9095, ext.232.
