Organized site visits have been scheduled for May 20, 2026 at 9:00 AM Central Daylight Time (CDT) and May 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM CDT.  The same information will be provided at both site visits, so offerors only need to attend one.  Contractors wishing to attend the site visit must register by emailing josh.dobereiner@usda.gov by May 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM CDT with the names of attendees, company they are with, and company(s) they are representing.  A Government issued photo ID is required for attendance.

The site visit will be held for the purpose of providing contractors with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the site, which may be helpful in the preparation of quotes.  Attendance at the site visit is not mandatory for quote submission; however, failure to visit the site will not relieve or mitigate the successful contractor’s responsibility and obligation to fully comply with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained and/or referenced in this document.
