Solicitation description

(A001)(5/20/2026)- This amendment is to answer questions received on solicitation 2000011339. Continue to page two for questions and answers. Q 1. Will the above solicitation have any HUBZone eligibility? A 1. Under FAR 19.1305, a contracting officer may set aside an acquisition (above the micro-purchase threshold) for HUBZone small businesses if they reasonably expect at least two HUBZone offerers, and a fair market price can be achieved. There is no HUBZone set-aside for this solicitation. If the IFB isn’t set aside, but competition is open, HUBZone-certified offerers may still qualify for price evaluation preference under FAR 52.219-4 when bids are opened.

Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number 12-3J14-26-B-0276 is issued as an invitation for bid (IFB) for Section 32 Table Grapes. This acquisition is set-aside for small business concerns. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference.

The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to address protest issues within the agency, providing an alternative to costly and time-consuming litigation. Operating independently, OPAP offers relief comparable to that granted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to resolve concerns through USDA’s internal Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process before pursuing external forums such as the GAO. Concerns may be addressed informally or through a formal agency protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Informal Forum with the Ombudsman 1. Initial Point of Contact: Interested parties who believe a specific USDA procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. 2. Escalation: If the Contracting Officer is unable to address their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the USDA Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Utilization of the informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a formal protest with the agency or other forums. 3. Required Information: To ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman 1. Effort to Resolve: Prior...
