Protest Information
The USDA offers an Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism. Interested parties should first address concerns with the Contracting Officer. If unresolved, informal or formal protests can be filed with the USDA Ombudsman. Formal protests require prior efforts to resolve with the Contracting Officer and must adhere to FAR 33.104 guidelines for content and timeliness. Filing a protest with USDA means agreeing not to pursue the same matter with external forums like the GAO while the agency protest is pending.
