The USDA emphasizes its Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP), which offers an alternative to litigation for resolving procurement concerns. Interested parties are encouraged to first contact the Contracting Officer with concerns. If unresolved, the USDA Ombudsman can be contacted for informal resolution or a formal agency protest. Formal protests can be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and must adhere to FAR 33.104(a)(3) and specified timelines. Protests under OPAP should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. Initiating a protest with USDA means agreeing not to pursue the same matter with GAO or other external forums while the agency protest is pending.
