61 -- CABLE, THOF-500 SOL N00189-99-R-0131 DUE 051399 POC Marlene K. Chambley, Contracting Officer, Code 02H3E, (757) 443-1362 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, Marlene_K_Chambley@nor.fisc.navy.mil. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation N00189-99-R-0131 last modified in the Commerce Business Daily dated 29 April 1999, is hereby modified to add the following provision: "INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF AGENCY PROTESTS" FAR 33.103 sets forth procedures for inexpensive, informal, procedurally simple and expeditious resolution of protests. Where appropriate and permitted by law, FISC Norfolk encourages the use of those techniques set forth in FAR 33.103 to resolve agency protests. Therefore, offerors may submit protests to the Contracting Officer, who is Marlene K. Chambley. Protests should comply with, and will be processed in accordance with the protest procedures set forth in FAR Part 33.103. As an alternative, offerors who protest may request FISC Norfolk to review the merits of the protest independent of the contracting officer who is conducting the source selection. FISC Norfolk's Division Chief of the Contracting Office will conduct this independent review. This modification also clarifies the requirements for the wooden delivery reels. Wooden reels, with 3.5 inch hole in the centers, will be provided by the contractor. Partial delivery is acceptable with pick up of empty reels 30 days after the last delivery. Wooden reels will be picked up at the place of delivery. Posted 04/29/99 (W-SN325915). (0119)
