The USSOCOM Acquisition Executive has appointed an Acquisition Ombudsman for Procurement Integrity​ and an Acquisition Task-Order/Deliver-Order Ombudsman.

The Acquisition Ombudsman provides a neutral, informal, confidential, and independent alternative for employees, managers, and customers to seek assistance in resolving procurement integrity issues with USSOCOM. The primary function of the Acquisition Ombudsman is to assist acquisition personnel by acting as an independent sounding board to hear concerns and to aid in the resolution of the issues. Contractors and individuals are encouraged to use existing communication channels through the Contracting Officer; however, the Ombudsman is available as an alternative to hear concerns and aid in the resolution of procurement integrity issues.

The Acquisition Task-Order/Deliver-Order Ombudsman reviews complaints from contractors to ensure they are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered, consistent with the procedures in the contract.
