Corn Products for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
The USDA seeks bids for Corn Products under a commercial products/services combined synopsis/solicitation that is the only solicitation; no separate written solicitation will be issued. This acquisition is set aside for small business concerns. The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference, accessible at www.acquisition.gov. USDA’s Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests offers an alternative dispute-resolution path before external forums such as GAO, with concerns first directed to the Contracting Officer and escalated to the Ombudsman if unresolved. Formal agency protests may be filed with the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman, awards or performance are generally suspended during the protest, and the agency aims to resolve protests within 35 calendar days.
