Please review all solicitation documents. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) invites offers to sell Macaroni and Cheese Products 

pursuant to the AMS Master Solicitation for use in the domestic food distribution programs. Bids are 

due by 9:00 am CT on 12/11/2023. Acceptances will be announced by 5pm CT on 12/18/2023. 

Deliveries are to be made between February 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024. 

This Acquisition is Unrestricted. 

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. 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 vendors are reminded that they are prohibited from subcontracting with companies or 

individuals that have been suspended or debarred. 

A prospective contractor will be required to provide written evidence of a proposed subcontractor#s 

responsibility including Plant Sanitation and Food Defense surveys. 

For a new-to-USDA contractor and existing contractors who are bidding on new products, a 

probationary period may 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. 

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. 

Offerors are cautioned to bid only quantities they can reasonably expect to produce and deliver.
