Bottled Juice for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0341
This contract solicitation, issued under solicitation number 12-3J14-26-B-0341, seeks commercial bottled juice products for use in domestic food assistance programs through an invitation for bid, and is exclusively set aside for small business concerns. The procurement, governed under part 5.101(d), does not require a separate written solicitation and is being administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service. The primary product under consideration is Bottled Grape Juice, specifically Concord Grape Juice in 8/64 FL OZ bottles, with a clarification allowing the 2025 crop year to remain acceptable until the 2026 crop becomes available. The initial response deadline has been amended to August 6, 2026, with the award date extended to August 27, 2026, reflecting adjustments to the original timeline. The solicitation is issued by the USDA’s Office in Washington, D.C., with Nicholas Cavazos and Ashley Train listed as primary and secondary points of contact. Protests regarding the procurement process are managed internally through the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests, which offers both informal consultations and formal protest procedures with binding timelines and suspension provisions for contract award or performance. Protesters must first attempt to resolve concerns with the Contracting Officer before escalating to the Ombudsman, and formal submissions must include required legal information and be filed within specified deadlines under FAR 33.104. Once submitted, the USDA aims to resolve all protests within 35 calendar days; however, filing a protest with USDA precludes simultaneous action with external forums like the Government Accountability Office. The latest version of the solicitation and amendments can be viewed through the provided SAM.gov link.

Canned Fruit for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0336
This solicitation, numbered 12-3J14-26-B-0336, is a combined synopsis and invitation for bid for canned fruit intended for use in domestic food assistance programs, issued under part 5.101(d) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The acquisition is exclusively set aside for small business concerns and is being conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service, specifically through the 3J14 office in Washington, D.C. Bids must be submitted by July 23, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the NAICS code 311421 applies to this procurement. No separate written solicitation will be issued; this announcement serves as the complete and only source of solicitation details, with all applicable provisions and clauses incorporated by reference and available at www.acquisition.gov. The USDA has established an internal Alternative Dispute Resolution process through its Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests to address concerns regarding fairness or procedural issues in the procurement. Interested parties are first encouraged to discuss concerns informally with the Contracting Officer, Nicholas Cavazos, and may escalate issues to the Ombudsman if unresolved. Formal protests must be filed within the timelines and requirements specified in FAR 33.104, include all mandatory information, and be submitted electronically to both the Ombudsman and the Contracting Officer. Once a formal protest is filed with the USDA, the protester waives the right to pursue the same matter with the Government Accountability Office or any other external forum while the agency protest remains pending. Contract performance may be suspended during the protest review period unless the government provides written justification for continuing, and the agency aims to resolve all protests within 35 calendar days of filing.
