Dried Fruit for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0331
This solicitation, numbered 12-3J14-26-B-0331, is a combined synopsis and invitation for bid issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service for the procurement of dried fruit to support domestic food assistance programs. The acquisition is structured as a partial set-aside for small business concerns and is being conducted under the NAICS code 311423. No separate written solicitation will be issued; this announcement serves as the complete and only source of requirements. Offers must be submitted by the deadline of August 11, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and all proposals should be directed to the designated point of contact, Samantha Klagenberg, with secondary support available from Kelli Dawkins. The place of performance is in Washington, D.C., with deliveries expected to the USDA’s office located at 20250. The contracting activity includes detailed protest procedures managed through the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests, designed to offer an internal, non-litigious avenue for resolving concerns about procurement fairness. Interested parties are first encouraged to engage informally with the Contracting Officer; if unresolved, they may escalate to a formal protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Formal protests require adherence to specific content and timing rules under FAR 33.104, and must be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov as well as the Contracting Officer. Once a formal protest is filed, contract award or performance is suspended unless the government demonstrates urgent or compelling circumstances. The agency aims to resolve all protests within 35 calendar days. Importantly, initiating a protest under this program precludes the protester from simultaneously pursuing the same issue through the Government Accountability Office or any other external forum.

Pork and Ham products for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0368
This solicitation, numbered 12-3J14-26-B-0368, is a combined synopsis and invitation for bid issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service for pork and ham products intended for use in domestic food assistance programs. The acquisition is structured as a partial small business set-aside, encouraging participation from small business concerns while allowing larger firms to compete for a portion of the contract. Bids must be submitted by August 6, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 28, 2026, and no separate written solicitation will be issued. The North American Industry Classification System code for this procurement is 311612, and all provisions and clauses are incorporated by reference through www.acquisition.gov. The contract will be awarded to a vendor capable of supplying the required products to the designated federal program, with performance tied to USDA’s needs across its domestic assistance initiatives. The USDA has established a formal process for resolving procurement disputes through its Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests, designed to offer an efficient internal alternative to external litigation. Interested parties are first encouraged to address concerns informally with the Contracting Officer, Chyra Lewis, or Carrie Meyers, and if unresolved, may escalate to the Ombudsman for an independent review. Formal protests must be filed in writing and include all information required under FAR 33.104(a)(3), and must be submitted to both the Ombudsman and the Contracting Officer via email before the deadlines specified in the FAR. Agency protests trigger an automatic suspension of contract award or performance unless an urgent exception is documented, and the USDA aims to resolve disputes within 35 calendar days. Filing a protest with the USDA prevents the protester from pursuing the same issue through the Government Accountability Office or any other external forum while the internal process remains active.

Protest submissions must be sent electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer, and filing a protest with USDA precludes simultaneous pursuit of the same matter at the Government Accountability Office or other external forums. Contract award or performance may be suspended during a formal protest unless the agency determines an urgent or compelling reason to proceed. The USDA aims to resolve all protests within 35 calendar days of filing.

Bottled Juice for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0341
This contract solicitation, issued under solicitation number 12-3J14-26-B-0341, seeks commercial bottled juice products for use in domestic food assistance programs through an invitation for bid, and is exclusively set aside for small business concerns. The procurement, governed under part 5.101(d), does not require a separate written solicitation and is being administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service. The primary product under consideration is Bottled Grape Juice, specifically Concord Grape Juice in 8/64 FL OZ bottles, with a clarification allowing the 2025 crop year to remain acceptable until the 2026 crop becomes available. The initial response deadline has been amended to August 6, 2026, with the award date extended to August 27, 2026, reflecting adjustments to the original timeline. The solicitation is issued by the USDA’s Office in Washington, D.C., with Nicholas Cavazos and Ashley Train listed as primary and secondary points of contact. Protests regarding the procurement process are managed internally through the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests, which offers both informal consultations and formal protest procedures with binding timelines and suspension provisions for contract award or performance. Protesters must first attempt to resolve concerns with the Contracting Officer before escalating to the Ombudsman, and formal submissions must include required legal information and be filed within specified deadlines under FAR 33.104. Once submitted, the USDA aims to resolve all protests within 35 calendar days; however, filing a protest with USDA precludes simultaneous action with external forums like the Government Accountability Office. The latest version of the solicitation and amendments can be viewed through the provided SAM.gov link.

Bulk Apples for Further Processing
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0322
This contract solicitation, numbered 12-3J14-26-B-0322, is for the procurement of bulk apples for further processing under a combined synopsis and invitation for bid, aligned with FAR Part 12 and set aside exclusively for small business concerns. Bidders must submit pricing per CLIN, with no requirement for full truckload orders, though awarded contracts require full delivery of the specified quantity. Location-specific requirements are detailed for Tracy, CA and Ludington, MI, including approved apple varieties, size ranges, pressure standards, and packaging specifications—corresponding to processor needs and regional processing capabilities. Hartford, MI follows the standard USDA commodity specifications without exceptions. Set-asides are determined based on market research and small business competitiveness, with eligibility requiring SAM.gov registration under NAICS code 311991 and self-certification as a small business. New contractors are subject to a probationary limit of ten truckloads per product until they demonstrate five successful deliveries. Apple varieties listed for specific locations, such as SnapDragon and Cosmic Crisp, are dictated by contracted USDA National Processors and are not subject to geographic growing restrictions imposed on commercial producers. The solicitation includes comprehensive provisions for contract performance, quality control, and dispute resolution. Representative samples will be pressure tested at destination sites, with minimum standards enforced for maturity and defect tolerance. Packaging must meet strict criteria: corrugated bins for Tracy, clean wood or plastic bins for Ludington and Hartford, with no plastic liners or plywood containers permitted, and bins must be available for return pickup within 180 days. The USDA Ombudsman Program provides an internal avenue for protest, requiring initial escalation to the Contracting Officer before formal filing, and prohibits simultaneous external protests with GAO while the agency review is active. Protests must be filed within prescribed timelines and include all required documentation outlined in FAR 33.104. The award process allows multiple vendors per location, and responses must be submitted by July 30, 2026. All terms are final and binding, with no additional written solicitation issued, and bidders are cautioned against submitting bids with intent to modify after award.
