This solicitation, numbered 12-3J14-26-B-0284, is a combined synopsis and invitation for bids issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service for salmon products to be used in domestic food assistance programs. The acquisition is not set aside for small businesses and is conducted under commercial procedures per part 5.101(d), with no separate written solicitation to follow. Bids must be submitted by June 5, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, and the procurement falls under NAICS code 311710 for seafood processing. The contract will be managed by the USDA AMS 3J14 office located in Washington, DC, with primary point of contact Chyra Lewis and secondary contact Carrie Meyers. The USDA has established a formal agency protest process through its Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests to address concerns regarding fairness or procedural defects in this procurement. Interested parties are required to first attempt to resolve issues informally with the Contracting Officer before escalating to a formal protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Formal protests must include all information required under FAR 33.104(a)(3), be submitted electronically to [email hidden] and the Contracting Officer, and must be filed within the timelines specified by regulation. Once a formal protest is filed with the USDA, the protester cannot pursue the same matter in external forums such as the Government Accountability Office while the agency process is active; external filings will result in dismissal of the agency protest. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless the agency determines in writing that urgent or compelling reasons or the government’s best interest require continuation.

Concerns may be addressed informally or through a formal agency protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman.

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

The protester may file a formal agency protest witheither the Contracting Officer or, alternatively, with the Ombudsman under the OPAPprogram.
