CHICKEN FAJITA SOLICITATION NO: 20000010109 WBSCM NO: 12-3J14-24-B-0425

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) invites offers to sell Chicken Fajita products pursuant to the AMS Master Solicitation for use in the National School Lunch Program and other Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs. Bids are due May 22, 2024. Acceptances will be announced by midnight, May 31, 2024.

Deliveries are to be made July 1, 2024, through August 31, 2024.

The Contract Specialist for this solicitation is Kevin Day (Kevin.Day@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.

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 non-conforming product from being introduced into Federal assistance programs.

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 destination (Puerto Rico, Hawaii, etc.), offerors have the option to choose to enter their bids direct to the offshore destination to the port. Offshore destination ports: Guam (O-LA; Los Angeles, CA), Hawaii (O-LA; Los Angeles, CA), Puerto Rico (O-JACK; Jacksonville, FL) and Virgin Islands (O-PEVE; Port Everglades, FL).

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

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.

Offerors are cautioned to bid only quantities they can reasonably expect to produce and deliver. All prime vendors are reminded that they are prohibited from subcontracting with companies or individuals that have been suspended or debarred.

Offers must be submitted electronically via the Web-Based Supply Chain Management System (WBSCM). Offers submitted by any means other than WBSCM will be deemed nonresponsive. Offerors must be active in WBSCM and have the required bidder roles in order to submit offers under this solicitation. Once connected, follow the online procedures.
