Specifications

Institution:Fiscal Year:Quarter:
MDC BROOKLYN20231st
Failure to comply with the National Menu Specifications will result in your quoted item not being considered for award. No specification substitutions will be accepted. If a specification does NOT state it must be a product of the United States or Canada, it is acceptable for it to be a "product of" a Foreign Country and distributed in the United States or Puerto Rico. When options are offered on the specifications, it is the FSA's determination as to what options are put out to bid. Not all options need be put out for bid. (i.e., cans and pouches). Items that are fried may be baked at the institutions discretion. The NFSA/Chief Dietitian will make the final determination on product compliance.
