Plaisted has been appointed as Ombudsman to hear concerns from offerors, or potential offerors, during proposal development. The purpose of the Ombudsman is 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 concern.
