Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Procurement / Contracting | | English term or phrase: employee-employer actions | I'm looking for a coherent, knowledgeable explanation of a section of the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation that isn't defined in any of the standard online references. The document is available at: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/changes/afac/afac2005-081...
The sentence is: "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).
What exactly are employee-employer actions? I REALLY don't think we're talking about wildcat strikes here, since the rest of the sentence is referring to actions to remedy the actual or imminent award decision of a contracting officer of the U.S. government.
If you know the German phrase offhand, that's great. I would be happy with an explanation in English, though. |
| | | Rechtsstreit zwischen Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber | Explanation:
"Before consulting with an ombudsman, concerned 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)."
My understanding is that during the source selection process (evaluation of proposals) it is conceivable that the contracting officer could receive a complaint about an offeror from an employee and that this could result in a query from the contracting officer to the offeror. The offeror would be given the opportunity to consult an ombudsman but the deadline for submission of proposals or any other deadline would not be delayed on this basis.
