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 or protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the 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, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM ombudsman Mr. Michael R.

DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTOR?S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHROITY CITED ABOVE (APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY). VMware virtual software is currently being used throughout the United States Central Command (USCENTCOM). The VMware virtual software allows all USCENTCOM users to have global access anytime anywhere. It is designed with USCENTCOM mission-critical applications and environments. To purchase another brand of software would mean forfeiting software currently valued over $400K and absorbing the costs and efforts (i.e., new software cost, time to employ new software program, and training of personnel) involved in procuring and implementing another virtual software program across the entire command. It is not reasonable nor is it cost effective to purchase another software program when it too would require continual service and maintenance support.
