Additional Notes

The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, accessible at www.acquisition.gov. The USDA emphasizes its Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism. 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. Initiating a protest with USDA precludes pursuing the same matter with the GAO or other external forums while the agency protest is pending.
