Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance

The Food and Drug Administration is forecasting support for the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance to expand international training and outreach efforts related to the Food Safety Modernization Act’s Traceability Rule. This initiative aims to equip foreign firms with the knowledge and tools necessary to comply with U.S. traceability requirements, leveraging the alliance’s established expertise in delivering industry-specific education. Despite no recent funding from the OIE, the FDA recognizes the critical need to sustain and scale these international activities to ensure global supply chain compliance and food safety standards. The contract opportunity is listed under NAICS code 541715 and is publicly available through the FDA’s procurement portal, with the posting date set for May 25, 2026. The primary point of contact for inquiries is the Hfp Acquisition Liaison at hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov, while the contracting officer role remains to be determined. No specific set-aside requirements or geographic restrictions are indicated, and the performance location is unspecified, reflecting the global nature of the training objectives. The effort underscores the FDA’s commitment to international collaboration in advancing food safety through capacity building and consistent regulatory alignment.
