This solicitation, numbered 12-3J14-26-B-0364, is a combined synopsis and invitation for bid issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service for turkey and turkey products intended for use in domestic food assistance programs. The acquisition is exclusively set aside for small business concerns under NAICS code 311615, and no separate written solicitation will be issued; this document serves as the complete and only source of solicitation information. Offers must be submitted by the deadline of August 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with responses directed to the contracting officer identified in the notice and electronic submissions accepted via the designated platform. The solicitation incorporates all applicable provisions and clauses by reference, accessible through www.acquisition.gov. The USDA has established a two-tiered process for addressing concerns related to this acquisition. Initially, any interested party must raise concerns directly with the Contracting Officer through Tier 1 resolution, which is encouraged as the preferred method for swift clarification and resolution without pausing procurement timelines; responses are expected within 10 business days. If unresolved, parties may escalate to Tier 2 by filing a formal written agency protest with either the Contracting Officer or the USDA Independent Review Authority, with the protester required to specify their elected review pathway or risk defaulting to the Contracting Officer’s decision. Protests must include all mandatory details per FAR 33.104-4 and be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer within prescribed time limits. Filing a protest with USDA bars simultaneous protests to external bodies like the Government Accountability Office. Award and performance may be suspended during protest review unless deemed urgently necessary by the government. Primary contact for inquiries is Kennetta Boone, with Carrie Meyers as secondary contact, both reachable through USDA email addresses provided.

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Ombudsman Program


The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is committed to fair, transparent, and efficient acquisitions. Interested parties with concerns about this solicitation are encouraged to seek resolution through the following USDA procedures.


Tier 1: Contracting Officer Concern Resolution


Submission: Interested parties with concerns about either the solicitation or subsequent award should first submit their concern directly to the Contracting Officer, providing sufficient detail to allow the Contracting Officer to understand and assess the issue.


Process: The Contracting Officer will review the concern, seek clarification as needed, and engage with the interested party to attempt prompt resolution.


Review Timeline: The Contracting Officer will make every effort to provide a response or resolution within 10 business days of receiving the concern.


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.


Submission: Agency protests should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer.


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


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.

Bids must be submitted by the deadline of August 6, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and no separate written solicitation will be issued—the posting serves as the complete and only solicitation document. The NAICS code 311991 applies to this acquisition, and all relevant provisions and clauses are incorporated by reference and accessible via acquisition.gov. The USDA has established an internal protest resolution process through its Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests to encourage timely and efficient resolution of concerns without resorting to external forums. Interested parties are first required to attempt informal resolution with the Contracting Officer before escalating to a formal protest, which may be filed either with the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Formal protests must include all information required by FAR 33.104(a)(3), be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer, and adhere strictly to applicable timeliness requirements. Upon filing a protest with the USDA, the protester agrees not to pursue the same issue with the Government Accountability Office or any other external agency while the internal process remains pending. Contract award or performance may be suspended during the protest period unless the agency determines otherwise in writing for urgent or compelling reasons. The agency aims to resolve all formal protests within 35 calendar days of filing.
