1852.215-84 Ombudsman. (OCTOBER 2003)

\(a\) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the
resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and
contractors during the preaward and postaward phases of this
acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict
confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the
ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the contracting officer,
the Source Evaluation Board, or the selection official. Further, the
ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the
source selection process, or the adjudication of formal contract
disputes. Therefore, before consulting with an ombudsman, interested
parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or
recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution.

\(b\) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer,
interested parties may contact the installation ombudsman, Lucy V.
Kranz, 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058, (281) 244-7683, e-mail
lucy.v.kranz@nasa.gov. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and
recommendations which cannot be resolved at the installation may be
referred to the NASA ombudsman, the Director of the Contract Management
Division, at 202-358-0445, facsimile 202-358-3083, e-mail
