SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    OPO wants to place an online intake Instrument on the GSA 
Ombudsman's Web page for receiving inquiries from vendors who are 
currently doing business with, or interested in doing business with

the appropriate office for resolution and/or implementation in the case 
of recommendations for process or program improvements. Reporting of 
the data collected will help highlight thematic issues that vendors 
encounter with GSA acquisition programs, processes or policies, and 
identify areas where training is needed. The information collected will 
also assist in identifying and analyzing patterns and trends to help 
improve efficiencies and lead to improvements in current practices.

methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the
