Ready to Eat Cereal Products for Domestic Food Assistance

The USDA is issuing an unrestricted RFP (Solicitation No. 12‑3J14‑26‑R‑0209) to procure high‑quality, fortified Ready‑to‑Eat (RTE) cereal for domestic feeding programs. Offerors must be able to ship the product to any location in the 49 contiguous states, including ports, as directed on the ordering document, and must provide a price per pound for each state through the Web‑Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) system. All contractors and subcontractors must have an approved food‑defense plan in place by the bid opening, and must submit traceability documentation, a Domestic Origin Certificate, the manufacturer’s Certificate of Conformance, and their own certificate of conformance. Technical data, case weight, and capacity information are required, as are past‑performance references and, for non‑small‑business offers, a subcontracting plan per FAR 19.109. Evaluation will be a trade‑off of price, capacity, preferred sugar and grain percentages, and past performance, with the possibility of multiple awards across line items. The solicitation incorporates standard FAR and AGAR clauses, is not set‑aside, and applies to NAICS 311230 (cereal manufacturing).
