Additional Notes
This announcement incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, accessible at www.acquisition.gov. The USDA maintains an Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) to address concerns regarding solicitations and contract awards. Interested parties are encouraged to first direct concerns to the Contracting Officer. If unresolved, the USDA Ombudsman can be contacted informally or for a formal agency protest. Formal protests must adhere to FAR 33.104(a)(3) requirements and be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. Filing a protest with USDA precludes pursuing the same matter with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forums while the agency protest is pending.
