FROZEN HAM PRODUCTS SOLICITATION NO: 12-3J14-24-B-2070 WBSCM NO:2000009925

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) invites offers to sell frozen ham and pork 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, February 29, 2024. Deliveries are to be made between April 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024.

The Contract Specialist for this solicitation is Chyra Lewis, Chyra.Lewis@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer is Carrie Meyers, (Carrie.Meyers@usda.gov). Any questions or concerns regarding this solicitation should be addressed to the specialist first.

For a new -to-USDA contractor and existing contractors 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 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.

The Government reserves the right to reject, in total or in part, manufacturers lots, sub-lots, production dates or the like when non-conforming product is identified.

Domestic Origin # All meat shall originate from livestock that are born, raised, and harvested in the United States, its territories or possessions (U.S.) If the establishment receives and processes livestock from outside the U.S., a segregation plan shall be put in place to preclude nonconforming product from being introduced into Federal nutrition assistance programs.

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.

Hams are to be delivered fresh chilled or frozen as indicated by product type.

Materials 100182, 100187 and 100193 are "Full and Open" Competition.

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.
