SALMON PRODUCTS SOLICITATION NO: 200009590

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) invites offers to sell salmon products pursuant to the AMS Master Solicitation for use in the National School Lunch Program and other Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs. Acceptances will be announced by midnight, September 29, 2023. Deliveries are to be made between November 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

Material 110580 is "Full and Open" Competition.

The Contract Specialist for this solicitation is Chyra Lewis (chyra.lewis@usda.gov) and the Contracting Officer is Glenn Reid (glenn.reid@usda.gov). Any questions or concerns regarding this solicitation should be addressed to the Contract Specialist first.

* * For a new-to-USDA contractor and existing contractors who are bidding on new products, a probationary period will be implemented in which awards are limited to 10 truckloads per product.

Contractor must demonstrate successful delivery of at least five (5) truckloads of product in order to be removed from probationary status on future solicitations. For the purposes of this rule, successful delivery is defined as product delivered on-time and in acceptable condition according to the terms and conditions of the contract. Any delivery problems directly attributable to the Government will not be held against the contractor.* *

This Solicitation may show multiple stops on some line items; however, the number of stops will be limited to a maximum of three. To determine the number of destinations, review the "Tendering Text" for the lot, which will indicate the City and State for each stop. Bidders may submit different prices for each stop. However, a price is required on all line items within the lot.

Offerors who intend to use more than one processing plant and shipping point for contracts awarded under this solicitation, other than the processing plant and shipping point entered in their bids, may submit a list of their approved processing plants and shipping points on a separate sheet of paper to be uploaded in WBSCM, and to be submitted with their bids.

For offshore destinations (Puerto Rico, Hawaii, etc.), offerors have the option to choose to enter their bids direct to the offshore destination or to the port.

Purchases will be made on an f.o.b. destination basis to cities on this Solicitation. Destination quantities listed are estimates and subject to adjustment based on offerings, changes in recipient needs, market conditions, and program operations.

All prime offerors are reminded that they are prohibited from subcontracting with companies or individuals that have been suspended or debarred.
