Use of Alternative Dispute Resolution to Resolve Preaward and PostawardDisputes This Policy Statement reinforces DPSC's commitment make maximum use of to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in resolving preaward andpostaward protests/ disputes when unassisted negotiations are unsuccesshl. ADR refers to a variety of dispute resolution techniques, many of which involvethe use of a neutral third party,that serve as alternates to litigation. Examples of ADR techniques include mediation and neutral fact finding. These techniquesare typically cheaper andfaster than litigation. They serve to maintain long-term working relationships between parties, and are less the disruptive to procurement cycles, contracts, and the parties themselves.

FAR 33.214 permits contracting officers use ADR procedures to settle any to contractual issue within their jurisdiction. ADR is purely voluntary and may be used at any stage of a contract dispute. Once the parties elect to use ADR, it can be an effective tool for dispute resolution.
PaAies are encouraged to seek resolutionof protests within the agency. Where appropriate, DPSC encouragesthe use of ADR techniques to resolve protests to the agency, including protests to the contracting officer,in accordance with FAR 33.103' Questions concerning ADR options may be addressed to the contracting officer or to Mr. Thomas Dougherty, DPSC'sADR Specialist for Contracting, located in the Office of Counsel.
