Lt Col Brian Miller 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 the Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or the contracting officer. Accordingly, the Ombudman 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 the buyer at the email address listed herein. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern.

Any questions regarding this acquisition should be directed to the Contract Specialist, Curtis Carson, at [email protected]. Should you desire to contact the Ombudsman, he can be reached at [email protected].
