USDA is issuing an invitation for bid for Raw Shelled Peanuts, set aside for small business concerns, and this announcement constitutes the only solicitation with no separate written solicitation to be issued. Incorporated provisions and clauses are available by reference at www.acquisition.gov. Interested parties with concerns should first contact the Contracting Officer, who will endeavor to respond or resolve the issue within 10 business days, though Tier 1 engagement does not pause solicitation deadlines, delay award, or suspend performance. Unresolved concerns may proceed to an agency protest filed with the Contracting Officer or USDA Independent Review Authority, with required FAR 33.104-4(a)(3) information, and USDA strives to resolve agency-level protests within 35 business days while awards or performance are suspended during the protest unless justified. By filing a USDA protest, protesters agree not to pursue the same matter with GAO or another external forum while the agency protest is pending.
