5352.201-9101 ACC - OMBUDSMAN (JUL 2023)
(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from
offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman
does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract
disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.
(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns,
issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution.
Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g.,
agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer
actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).
(c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the
ombudsman, [Insert names, addresses, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and e-mail
addresses of Center/MAJCOM/FLDCOM/DRU/DAFRCO ombudsman/ombudsmen]. Concerns,

52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible
offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government,
price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
i.Price. The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability and best value to the Government. If found technically acceptable and found to be the best value award will be made without further consideration. If found technically unacceptable the government will evaluate the next lowest offer for technical acceptability until award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.
ii.Past Performance. Past Performance will not be evaluated.
iii. Technical. Technical capability of the item to meet the Government’s requirement in accordance with salient characteristics. Contractor shall attach salient characteristics/specifications, as appropriate.

successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding
contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the
Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after
its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
