Shell Eggs for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial shell egg products for federal food and nutrition assistance programs, set aside for small businesses. It is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) and constitutes the only solicitation, with offers requested under the terms provided. The solicitation outlines a two-tier USDA protest process: first, concerns should be submitted to the Contracting Officer, who will aim to respond within 10 business days. If unresolved, a written agency protest may be filed, with USDA striving to resolve it within 35 business days and the protester electing the review forum. The full text of provisions and clauses is available electronically, and questions should be directed to the Contracting Officer.
