This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for canned soup products issued as an invitation for bid and is not set aside for small business concerns. Provisions and clauses are incorporated by reference and available at www.acquisition.gov. Interested parties with concerns should first contact the contracting officer, who will endeavor to respond within 10 business days without pausing the solicitation process. If unresolved, a written agency protest may be filed with the contracting officer or USDA Independent Review Authority, with USDA striving to resolve agency-level protests within 35 business days. Contract awards or performance are suspended during the protest period unless justified for urgent and compelling reasons or determined to be in the government’s best interest.
