Additional Notes
The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, accessible at www.acquisition.gov. The announcement also includes detailed information regarding the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP). This program offers an internal alternative dispute resolution process for concerns regarding USDA procurements, encouraging informal resolution with the Contracting Officer first, followed by formal protest options with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Protesters must use best efforts to resolve concerns with the Contracting Officer prior to formal protest. Formal protests under OPAP should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. Filing an agency protest with USDA precludes pursuing the same matter with external forums like the GAO while the agency protest is pending.
