Plaisted has been appointed as Ombudsman to hear concerns from offerors, or potential offerors, during the proposal development. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. Existence of an Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or the contracting officer. 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, please contact [Otis L. Jones, ASC/PKWOSB, (937) 257-6146, ext. 4213, fax (937) 257-3926]. When requested the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern.
