Packaged Butter Commodity Requirements Document

The Agriculture department serves as a purchaser of domestically sourced food commodities intended for various U.S. Government food aid programs, issuing periodic solicitations to acquire these commodities. For each purchase, detailed specifications are provided in Commodity Requirements Documents (CRDs), which outline the standards and requirements for the commodities. The contract in question pertains to a newly published CRD specifically for Packaged Butter, designated as PBD4. This document became effective on August 22, 2013, and is accessible alongside other current CRDs on the Kansas City Commodity Office's website. The CRD establishes the necessary quality and packaging standards that must be met for Packaged Butter in future program solicitations, ensuring consistency and compliance across all purchases. Key details include the solicitation number AG-DPD-BUTTER, the relevant NAICS code 311512, and points of contact for further information: Hilary A. Cole and Trevor J. Wilson, the latter serving as Contract Specialist. Interested parties are encouraged to thoroughly review the PBD4 document to understand the exact commodity requirements before participating in related solicitations. This structured approach facilitates the procurement process for government food aid commodities while maintaining transparency and adherence to federal acquisition regulations.
