This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for bulk chicken and chicken products under an invitation for bids, intended for federal food and nutrition assistance programs. Offers are being requested directly, with no separate written solicitation to follow. The acquisition is not set aside for small business and incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. Concern resolution follows a two-tier protest process: first with the Contracting Officer, who aims to respond within 10 business days, and if unresolved, through an agency protest that USDA aims to resolve within 35 business days.
