Supplement 303 Ham Products - September 2026
Solicitation # 12-3J14-Notice-26-020
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service is soliciting the competitive purchase of boneless, fully cooked, water-added ham products for distribution to Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs. Solicitation 12-3J14-Notice-26-020, effective September 2026, updates Supplement 303 to include revised verbiage for domestic origin of meat components, spinal cord removal requirements, and the allowance of two 2.5 lb saddle packs to satisfy the 5 lb pack requirement for sliced ham. All products must be derived from fresh chilled pork and produced in accordance with Food Safety and Inspection Service regulations, with a processing timeline not exceeding 60 days prior to shipment. Contractors must adhere to strict packaging and labeling standards, utilizing high oxygen and high moisture barrier casings for bulk hams and vacuum-sealed bags or thermoformed packaging for sliced and diced varieties. Compliance is monitored by the USDA Quality Assessment Division through either direct grading-based monitoring or audit-based verification. Those opting for audit-based verification must submit a detailed technical proposal in a non-portable document format, such as Microsoft Word, along with product samples for evaluation. Award responsiveness is based on technical eligibility, food defense capabilities, and the ability to provide domestic origin certifications and certificates of conformance.
