1.2 1852.215-84 OMBUDSMAN. (OCT 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, Cynthia C. Lee, direct inquires to the Office of Procurement Deputy Director, NASA Langley Research Center, Mail Stop 134, Hampton, VA 23681-2199; phone (757)864-2426; facsimile (757)864-8541. 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 james.a.balinskas@nasa.gov.  Please do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due  date, or clarify technical requirements.  Such inquiries shall be directed to the Contracting Officer or as specified elsewhere in this document.

1.3 1852.223-72 SAFETY AND HEALTH (SHORT FORM). (APR 2002) 

(a) Safety is the freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness; damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment.  NASA's safety priority is to protect: (1) the public, (2) astronauts and pilots, (3) the NASA workforce (including contractor employees working  on NASA contracts), and (4) high-value equipment and property.

(c) The Contractor shall take, or cause to be taken, any other safety, and occupational health measures the Contracting Officer may reasonably direct. To the extent that the Contractor may be entitled to an equitable adjustment for those measures under the terms and conditions of  this contract, the equitable adjustment shall be determined pursuant to the procedures of the Changes clause of this contract; provided, that no adjustment shall be made under this Safety and Health clause for any change for which an equitable adjustment is expressly provided under any other clause of the contract. 

(d) The Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor in writing of any noncompliance with this clause and specify corrective actions to be taken.  In situations where the Contracting Officer becomes aware of noncompliance that may pose a serious or imminent danger to safety and health of the public, astronauts and pilots, the NASA workforce (including Contractor employees working on NASA contracts), or high value mission critical equipment or property, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor orally, with written confirmation.  The Contractor shall promptly take and report any necessary corrective action.  The Government may pursue appropriate remedies in the event the Contractor fails to promptly take the necessary corrective action.

(e) The Contractor (or subcontractor or supplier) shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (e) and any applicable Schedule provisions, with appropriate changes of designations of the parties, in subcontracts of every tier that exceed the micro-purchase threshold.
