The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the Contracting Officer, Mr. Bryan Armstrong, 707-424-7727, for resolution.

If resolution cannot be made by the Contracting Officer, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM ombudsman, Mr. Gregory Oneal, HQ AMC.A7K, 507 Symington Drive, Scott AFB, IL 62225-5022, 618-229-0184; fax 618-256-6668; email: gregory.oneal@us.af.mil.
