Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of submissions or provide feedback regarding any information received. Supporting documentation must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to fulfill all requirements. Responses must be received no later than July 30, 2026, 11:00 EST, demonstrating ability to perform competitively priced USDA requirements. (see referenced Justification to Restrict Competition attached). Responses will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses shall be submitted via email in Microsoft Word or PDF format to Contract Specialist Bryana Jordan bryana.jordan@usda.gov. Telephone requests or inquiries will not be accepted. The Government will not pay for any information submitted as a result of this notice. This notice shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services.
