FROZEN COOKED BEEF PRODUCTS for National School Lunch Program and other Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Frozen Cooked Beef products, issued as an invitation for bids and set aside for small business concerns. Offers are requested directly without a separate written solicitation, and provisions and clauses are incorporated by reference. A two-tier protest process applies: concerns may first be raised with the Contracting Officer, who will aim to respond within 10 business days, followed by an agency protest that USDA strives to resolve within 35 business days. Protesters must file within FAR timeframes and cannot pursue the same protest externally while the agency protest is pending.
