Commodity Requirements Document (CRD) for Fortified Poultry-Based Spread (FPBS1)

The US Department of Agriculture issues solicitations to procure domestic origin food commodities for its international food aid programs, guided by Commodity Requirements Documents (CRDs) that specify product standards and requirements. One such document, the CRD for Fortified Poultry-Based Spread (FPBS1), became effective on May 18, 2015, and serves as the official specification for all future purchases of this commodity under the USDA's food aid solicitations. The FPBS1 document, along with other current CRDs, is publicly available on the Kansas City Commodity Office’s commodity operations website, ensuring transparency and access for interested suppliers to fully understand the procurement requirements. The solicitation associated with this CRD is identified as AG-IPD-FPBS1, falling under NAICS code 311615, which pertains to the poultry processing industry. The contract does not list a specific set-aside type or detailed place of performance information. The primary points of contact for this procurement process are Contracting Officer Debbie Martinek and Contract Specialist Kelli Dawkins, who can be reached via provided email addresses and phone numbers at the Kansas City Commodity Office. This structured approach supports USDA’s mission to secure high-quality fortified poultry-based spread commodities for its international aid efforts efficiently and in compliance with established federal acquisition regulations.
