Additional Notes
This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, accessible at www.acquisition.gov. The USDA offers an Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) as an alternative to litigation. Interested parties are encouraged to first address concerns with the Contracting Officer. If unresolved, the USDA Ombudsman can be contacted informally or through a formal agency protest. Formal protests under OPAP should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer, including information set forth in FAR 33.104(a)(3) and adhering to FAR 33.104 timeliness requirements. Initiating a protest with USDA precludes pursuing the same matter with the GAO or other external forums while the agency protest is pending.
