This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. It incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, which can be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov.
The notice also details the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP). Interested parties are encouraged to resolve concerns through USDA’s internal Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process. Informal concerns can be directed to the Contracting Officer, then escalated to the Ombudsman. Formal agency protests can be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, adhering to FAR 33.104(a)(3) and submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. Filing a protest with USDA implies agreement not to pursue the same matter with external forums like the GAO while the agency protest is pending.
