Vegtable Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil Domestic Food Assistance Programs
USDA AMS seeks bids for Vegetable Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil under its Master Invitation for Bids Domestic Commodity Procurement for Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs. This combined synopsis/solicitation is the only solicitation; offers are requested and no separate written solicitation will be issued. The acquisition is not set aside for small business and incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, available at www.acquisition.gov. The USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests provides an alternative dispute-resolution path: concerns should first go to the Contracting Officer, then may be escalated to the Ombudsman, with formal protests filed with either the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman. The agency aims to resolve formal protests within 35 calendar days of filing, and filing with USDA precludes pursuing the same matter externally while the agency protest is pending.
