Additional Notes
The USDA emphasizes its Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP), encouraging interested parties to resolve concerns through USDA’s internal Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process. Concerns can be directed to the Contracting Officer or the USDA Ombudsman. Formal protests can be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, with a goal to resolve protests within 35 calendar days. Protesters must first attempt to resolve concerns with the Contracting Officer. Formal protests under OPAP should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer.
