AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is soliciting bids for chicken and other chicken products to support domestic food assistance programs under solicitation number 12-3J14-26-B-0370, issued as an invitation for bid with no set-aside for small businesses. The acquisition, classified under NAICS code 311615, is administered by the USDA AMS 3J14 office in Washington D.C., with responses due by August 13, 2026. This combined synopsis and solicitation serves as the sole official request for proposals, with no separate written solicitation to follow, and incorporates all applicable provisions and clauses accessible via www.acquisition.gov. Offers must be submitted in accordance with the specified deadlines and requirements, and performance is expected to support government food assistance initiatives. The USDA outlines a two-tiered process for addressing concerns related to this solicitation. Initially, interested parties are encouraged to resolve issues directly with the Contracting Officer through Tier 1 informal resolution, which does not suspend deadlines or performance and must be addressed within ten business days. If unresolved, a formal written agency protest may be filed under Tier 2, either with the Contracting Officer or the USDA Independent Review Authority, with the protester electing the review forum. Protests must include all required information per FAR 33.104-4 and be submitted electronically to [email hidden] and the Contracting Officer within applicable timeframes. Filing an agency protest triggers an automatic suspension of award or performance unless the government justifies continued activity for urgent reasons. Protesters are barred from filing duplicate protests with GAO or other external bodies while the USDA protest is pending, and the agency aims to resolve such protests within thirty-five business days. Questions should be directed to Wayne Wright or Carrie Meyers as listed in the solicitation.

Effect on Award or Performance: Tier 1 engagement is not considered an official notification of filing an agency protest and does not pause solicitation deadlines, delay award decisions, or suspend contract performance.

Next Steps: If the matter cannot be resolved at Tier 1, the interested party may file a written agency protest under Tier 2.

USDA encourages all parties to seek resolution with the Contracting Officer before filing an agency protest.

Tier 2: Agency Protest

If concerns cannot be resolved at Tier 1, an interested party may file a written agency protest with either the Contracting Officer or the USDA Independent Review Authority. The decision by the USDA Independent Review Authority is an alternative to a decision by the Contracting Officer. The USDA Independent Review Authority will not consider an appeal of the Contracting Officer’s decision on an agency protest.

The protest must state whether the protester elects review by the Contracting Officer, by the UDSA Independent Review Authority. If no election is stated, the Contracting Officer will decide the protest.

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

Effect on Award or Performance: Contract awards or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless justified in writing for urgent and compelling reasons or determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

Review Timeline: USDA strives to resolve agency-level protests within 35 business days of receipt.

Election of Forum: By filing a protest with USDA, the protesters agree not to file a protest on the same matter with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or any other external forum while the agency protest is pending. If such a protest is filed externally, the USDA agency protest will be dismissed.

Questions: Questions regarding this notice or protest procedures should be directed to the Contracting Officer identified in this solicitation.
