Additional Notes
This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, accessible at www.acquisition.gov. The document also includes detailed information regarding the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP). Interested parties are encouraged to first address concerns with the Contracting Officer. If unresolved, formal agency protests can be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, with a goal to resolve protests within 35 calendar days. Protesters must use their best efforts to resolve concerns with the Contracting Officer prior to a formal protest. Filing a protest with USDA means the protester agrees not to pursue the same matter with the GAO or other external forums while the agency protest is pending.
