Interested parties are encouraged to first address concerns with the Contracting Officer. If unresolved, informal or formal protests can be filed with the USDA Ombudsman. Formal protests must adhere to FAR 33.104 requirements and be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. Filing a protest with USDA means the protester agrees not to pursue the same matter with external forums like the GAO while the agency protest is pending.
