This solicitation, numbered 12-1NFP-26-B-0019, is a combined synopsis and invitation for bid issued under far part 12 for the procurement of packaged food commodities including cornmeal, fortified rice, corn-soy blend, beans, peas and lentils, wheat, vegetable oil, and super cereal plus to support international food assistance programs. The acquisition is partially set-aside for small business concerns as defined under far 19.5, with naics code 311211, and no separate written solicitation will be issued. Offers must be submitted by the deadline of July 14, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. et, and all bids are governed by provisions and clauses referenced from acquisition.gov. The contract is administered by the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service office located in Washington, dc, with primary point of contact melvin smith and secondary contact jennifer russenburger. The USDA has established a two-tiered protest process to address concerns regarding the solicitation or award. First, any interested party must raise concerns directly with the contracting officer, who is expected to respond within 10 business days; this step does not pause deadlines or suspend performance. If unresolved, a formal written agency protest may be filed with either the contracting officer or the usda independent review authority, with the protester required to specify their chosen forum. Protests must include all information mandated by far 33.104-4(a)(3), be submitted electronically to spe.inquiry@usda.gov and the contracting officer, and comply with the timeliness requirements of far 33.104. Filing a protest with the usda bars the protester from pursuing the same issue at the gao or any other external forum while the agency protest is pending. Contract awards and performance will be suspended during the protest period unless the government demonstrates urgent and compelling reasons otherwise, and the USDA aims to resolve all protests within 35 business days.
