This opportunity is an invitation for bid for shell egg products and is set aside for small business concerns; the announcement is the only solicitation and no separate written solicitation will be issued. Concerns should first be submitted to the Contracting Officer, who aims to respond or resolve within 10 business days without pausing award or performance. If unresolved, a written agency protest may be filed with the Contracting Officer or USDA Independent Review Authority, with USDA striving to resolve within 35 business days. Contract awards or performance will be suspended during an agency protest unless justified for urgent/compelling reasons or determined to be in the Government’s best interest.
