POLLOCK PRODUCTS, SOLICITATION 2000010803 WBSCM NO: 12-3J14-25-B-0351

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) invites offers to sell Pollock Products pursuant to the AMS Master Solicitation for use in the domestic food distribution programs. Bids are due by 1:00 pm CT on May 19, 2025. Acceptances will be announced by 5:00 pm CT on May 30, 2025.

Deliveries are to be made between July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

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.

System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in agency solicitations. Examples include 52.222-25, Affirmative Action Compliance, and paragraph (d) of 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.

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.

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.

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. Offshore destination ports: Guam (O-LA; Los Angeles, CA), Hawaii (O-LA; Los Angeles, CA), Puerto Rico (O-JACK; Jacksonville, FL) and Virgin Island (O-PEVE; Port Everglades, FL).

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.
