AI Contract Overview

This solicitation, numbered 2000011280, is an invitation for bids issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service for the procurement of canned and frozen fruit under NAICS codes 311411 and 311421, specifically for domestic food assistance programs. The opportunity is exclusively set aside for small business concerns and serves as the complete solicitation document, eliminating the need for a separate written request. Bids must be submitted by April 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., with the most recent version of the Master Invitation for Bids - Domestic effective April 24, 2026, governing the process. An earlier amendment corrected the referenced crop year from 2026 to 2025, ensuring all submissions reflect the correct eligibility period for product production. The USDA has established a formal process for addressing protests to ensure fair and transparent contracting. Interested parties are first encouraged to resolve concerns informally with the Contracting Officer, and if unresolved, may escalate to the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests. Formal protests must be filed within timelines prescribed by FAR 33.104, include all required information, and be submitted electronically to both the Ombudsman and the Contracting Officer. Protest filings trigger an automatic suspension of contract award or performance unless the government justifies proceeding due to urgent or compelling reasons. The agency aims to resolve all formal protests within 35 calendar days, and filing a protest with USDA precludes simultaneous pursuit of the same matter through the Government Accountability Office or other external forums. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Nicholas Cavazos, with Ashley Train as secondary contact, and all relevant documents are accessible via the provided SAM.gov link.

NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Ombudsman Program

The USDA is committed to issuing solicitations and awarding contracts in a fair and prompt manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to address protest issues within the agency, providing an alternative to costly and time-consuming litigation. Operating independently, OPAP offers relief comparable to that granted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to resolve concerns through USDA’s internal Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process before pursuing external forums such as the GAO. Concerns may be addressed informally or through a formal agency protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman

1. Initial Point of Contact: Interested parties who believe a specific USDA procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer.

2. Escalation: If the Contracting Officer is unable to address their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the USDA Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Utilization of the informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a formal protest with the agency or other forums.

3. Required Information: To ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman

1. Effort to Resolve: Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions.

2. Independent Review: If the protester’s concerns remain unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest with either the Contracting Officer or, alternatively, with the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract awards or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless justified in writing for urgent and compelling reasons or determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government.

3. Resolution Timeline: The agency’s goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from the date of filing.

4. Required Information: Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.104(a)(3). Failure to submit the required information may result in a delay or dismissal of the protest.

5. Timeliness: Protests must be filed within the timeframes specified in FAR 33.104.

6. Submission: Formal protests under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. By initiating a protest with the USDA, the protester agrees not to pursue the same matter with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or any other external forum while the agency protest is pending. If a protest is filed externally, the agency protest will be dismissed.
