Supplement for Egg Products
Solicitation # 12-3J14-Notice-26-024
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has issued a special notice and supplement for the procurement of egg products, including whole eggs, hard-boiled eggs, all-purpose egg mix, and frozen scrambled egg patties. This procurement is governed by the Federal Purchase Program Specification (FPPS) and the AMS Master Invitation for Bids Domestic Programs (MIFB-D). A critical update to this program is the mandatory transition to AMS Quality Assessment Division (QAD) audit-based acceptance services (Option B) effective January 2027, replacing previous grading-based monitoring. All costs associated with AMS representative services, including audits and supervision, are the responsibility of the contractor. To become eligible for bidding, contractors must submit a technical proposal in a non-PDF format, such as Microsoft Word, following the specific templates provided in Exhibits A through D. This proposal must document a comprehensive quality control program covering processing, packaging, and labeling. Additionally, contractors must provide a five-pound product sample—except for bulk liquid whole eggs—which must include detailed labeling of ingredients, nutrition facts, and allergen declarations. Eligibility is determined through a technical review by the Standards and Specification Division (SSD), approval of product samples, and a pre-bid onsite capability assessment audit by the QAD, which evaluates food defense plans, production compliance, and quality records.

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.
