Make confident procurement choices

Navigate the procurement process with Confidence

Federal regulations require schools that participate in USDA child nutrition programs to follow strict procurement rules. Because schools receive federal funds to help operate their child nutrition programs, federal regulations mandate that school meal programs give as many people as possible the opportunity to get your business.

There are different requirements depending on the dollar amount you are spending and what type of commodity (food, equipment, services, supplies, etc.) you are purchasing.

The procurement process in child nutrition programs can be daunting. Pro•Team wants to assure that you have the most up to date information and tools to assist you with your questions about procurement, or procurement review preparation. We’re here to help!
