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.


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).


If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman:

59--ELECTRONIC MODULE,S - AND OTHER REPLACEMENT PARTS, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF
Solicitation # N0038326QPC56
This contract solicitation is for the procurement of 11 units of a flight-critical electronic module identified by NSN 7R-5963-015453394-EQ, with delivery terms FOB origin. Due to the technical complexity and safety-critical nature of the item, acquisition is restricted to previously approved sources only, as the Government has determined that adequate technical data and manufacturing knowledge are not publicly available and remain proprietary to the qualified vendors. The design control activity mandates source approval prior to award, and only those sources already vetted and approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity may be considered. Any new proposed source must submit comprehensive documentation aligned with the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Source Approval Information Brochures for spares or repair, depending on intent, and failure to provide complete and accurate data will result in disqualification. If a source approval request is pending review at the time of proposal submission, a copy of the cover letter affirming that submission must be included with the offer. The solicitation explicitly prohibits the use of FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition policies, meaning the Government is not seeking commercially available off-the-shelf solutions and requires specialized, controlled-source components. The item’s technical data, design capability, and repair expertise are not economically accessible to the Government, making reliance on approved sources essential to ensure operational readiness and quality assurance. Offers must be submitted by the deadline of September 21, 2026, and awards will only be made if the offeror, product, or manufacturer meets all qualification criteria at the time of award in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-1. Additional technical specifications and standards may be accessed via ASSIST-Online or the DODSSP system, though patterns, drawings, and deviation lists are not available through these channels. The primary point of contact for qualification inquiries is Dana N. Knittel at NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, and the Government retains the right to proceed with award based on Fleet support needs even if new source approvals are delayed.
