This is a combined synopsis/solicitation issued as an invitation for bids for bulk chicken products under the AMS Master Invitation for Bids Domestic Commodity Procurement, for use in Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs. The acquisition is not set aside for small business concerns, and no separate written solicitation will be issued. 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; Tier 1 engagement is not an official agency protest and does not delay award decisions or suspend contract performance. If unresolved, a written agency protest may be filed with the Contracting Officer or USDA Independent Review Authority, including the information required by FAR 33.104-4(a)(3), and USDA aims to resolve agency-level protests within 35 business days. Awards or performance may be suspended during a protest unless justified in writing for urgent and compelling reasons or determined to be in the Government’s best interest.
