This is a USDA combined synopsis/solicitation issued as an invitation for bid for Mozzarella String Cheese and Kosher Process Cheese, set aside for small business concerns. Offers are requested, and no separate written solicitation will be issued. Interested parties with concerns should first contact the Contracting Officer, with USDA making every effort to respond or resolve within 10 business days. If unresolved, a written agency protest may be filed with the Contracting Officer or USDA Independent Review Authority, including FAR 33.104-4(a)(3) information and submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. USDA aims to resolve agency-level protests within 35 business days, and 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.
