Dried Fruit for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0331
This solicitation, numbered 12-3J14-26-B-0331, is a combined synopsis and invitation for bid issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service for the procurement of dried fruit to support domestic food assistance programs. The acquisition is structured as a partial set-aside for small business concerns and is being conducted under the NAICS code 311423. No separate written solicitation will be issued; this announcement serves as the complete and only source of requirements. Offers must be submitted by the deadline of August 11, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and all proposals should be directed to the designated point of contact, Samantha Klagenberg, with secondary support available from Kelli Dawkins. The place of performance is in Washington, D.C., with deliveries expected to the USDA’s office located at 20250. The contracting activity includes detailed protest procedures managed through the USDA Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests, designed to offer an internal, non-litigious avenue for resolving concerns about procurement fairness. Interested parties are first encouraged to engage informally with the Contracting Officer; if unresolved, they may escalate to a formal protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Formal protests require adherence to specific content and timing rules under FAR 33.104, and must be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov as well as the Contracting Officer. Once a formal protest is filed, contract award or performance is suspended unless the government demonstrates urgent or compelling circumstances. The agency aims to resolve all protests within 35 calendar days. Importantly, initiating a protest under this program precludes the protester from simultaneously pursuing the same issue through the Government Accountability Office or any other external forum.

Dehydrated Potato Products for Domestic Food Assistance
Solicitation # 12-3J14-26-B-0355
This solicitation invites bids for dehydrated potato products under the USDA’s Domestic Food Assistance program, issued as a combined synopsis and solicitation in accordance with commercial acquisition procedures. The solicitation number is 12-3J14-26-B-0355, with responses due by July 23, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. It is classified under NAICS code 311423 for potato product manufacturing and is directed by the USDA AMS 3J14 office in Washington, DC. The contract is not subject to any set-aside designation, and offers are being solicited without a separate written document. All applicable provisions and clauses are incorporated by reference and are accessible electronically through www.acquisition.gov. Primary and secondary points of contact for inquiries are provided, with Claudius Price as the primary point of contact and David Cottrell as the secondary. The USDA has established an internal Agency Protests Program, managed by the Ombudsman, to resolve procurement concerns efficiently and avoid costly external litigation. Interested parties are required to first attempt informal resolution with the Contracting Officer before escalating to the Ombudsman. Formal protests must be submitted after good faith efforts to resolve concerns, include all information required under FAR 33.104(a)(3), and be filed within applicable deadlines. Once filed, the agency aims to resolve protest matters within 35 calendar days, and contract performance may be suspended unless justified by urgent or compelling reasons. By initiating a protest with USDA, the protester agrees to abandon any parallel pursuit of the same issue at the Government Accountability Office or other external forums until the internal process concludes. All formal protests must be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer.

Solicitation # BD-27-1026-DOE02-DOE01-131541
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is soliciting bids for the procurement of low-sugar dried cranberries made exclusively from cranberries grown and harvested in Massachusetts, available in two flavors: Fruit Punch and Raspberry Lemonade. The contract, identified as BD-27-1026-DOE02-DOE01-131541, is being issued through COMMBUYS with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, and requires delivery to the specified place of performance at 135 Santilli Highway, Everett, MA 02149. Although no estimated contract value is disclosed, the award will be based on best value using a trade-off methodology that prioritizes non-cost factors over price alone, explicitly excluding Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Bidders must be Massachusetts-based small businesses meeting stringent eligibility criteria, including having 50 or fewer full-time employees, annual revenues under $15 million, and at least one year of continuous operation, to qualify for preferential consideration under the Small Business Purchasing Program. Non-SBPP bidders are only considered if no eligible small business submits a technically acceptable and best-value proposal. A minimum commitment of 1% of the contract value must be directed toward certified Supplier Diversity Program partners, including Minority-Owned, Women-Owned, Veteran-Owned, Disability-Owned, and LGBTQ Business Enterprises, and this commitment constitutes at least 25% of the total evaluation score. Bidders are required to submit a comprehensive SDP Plan Form outlining their strategy for engaging certified partners, with self-certification or use of non-certified entities being unacceptable. In addition to diversity compliance, contractors must adhere to Massachusetts Public Records Law, HIPAA obligations if handling health data, and prohibitions on use of the Commonwealth seal without authorization. All payments must be made via Electronic Funds Transfer, requiring enrollment in the VendorWeb system, and contractors must comply with prompt payment discount requirements. The Commonwealth reserves the right to unilaterally expand the contract scope or term if funding is available. All deliverables remain the property of the state, and false representations regarding SBPP or SDP status may lead to disqualification, debarment, or contract termination. Proposals must be submitted electronically through COMMBUYS by the deadline, with no late submissions accepted, and all materials must be in English using U.S. customary units.
