Amendment for Section 32 Fresh Pears Solicitation 2000011217
12-3J14-26-B-0178
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Section 32 Fresh Pears, set aside for small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. The amendment provides answers to bidder questions, clarifying that different U.S. grade standards apply to tray packs (U.S. No. 2) versus bags (U.S. No. 1). It confirms that both Red and Green D'Anjou pears are acceptable but they must not be commingled on the same pallet. Size specifications have been updated for certain packaged pears, including specific minimum and maximum diameters for some and size counts for others.
