The solicitation is an invitation for bid for Fresh Potato Products and is set aside for small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns; offers are requested under this announcement, and no separate written solicitation will be issued. Provisions and clauses are incorporated by reference and available at www.acquisition.gov. Interested parties should first raise concerns with the Contracting Officer, who will make every effort to respond within 10 business days; this Tier 1 engagement does not pause deadlines, delay award, or suspend performance. Unresolved concerns may proceed as a written USDA agency protest, which must include FAR 33.104-4(a)(3) information and be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer, with awards or performance suspended during the protest unless justified for urgent and compelling reasons or the Government’s best interest. USDA strives to resolve agency-level protests within 35 business days, and protesters elect review by the Contracting Officer or the USDA Independent Review Authority and agree not to pursue GAO or other external protest while the agency protest is pending.
