This is a combined synopsis/solicitation issued as an invitation for bid for frozen cooked beef products, set aside for small business concerns; offers are requested and no separate written solicitation will be issued. The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, available electronically at www.acquisition.gov. Interested parties with concerns should first submit them to the Contracting Officer, who will make every effort to respond or resolve within 10 business days, and this Tier 1 engagement does not pause the process or suspend performance. If unresolved, a written agency protest may be filed with the Contracting Officer or the USDA Independent Review Authority, with USDA striving to resolve agency-level protests within 35 business days. By filing with USDA, protesters agree not to pursue the same matter in GAO or another external forum while the agency protest is pending.
