Additional Information
This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, accessible at www.acquisition.gov. The announcement also details the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP), providing both informal and formal avenues for addressing concerns regarding USDA procurements. Interested parties are encouraged to first contact the Contracting Officer, then the Ombudsman if concerns persist. Formal protests can be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, with a goal to resolve protests within 35 calendar days. Protests must adhere to FAR 33.104 timeliness and content requirements and be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. Initiating a protest with USDA precludes pursuing the same matter with external forums like the GAO while the agency protest is pending.
