About this file
The document is a Buy American Provision Certification Form for food purchases issued by St. Bernard Parish School Board, designed to ensure compliance with federal regulations requiring domestic food sourcing for school nutrition programs. The form requires vendors bidding on food products for the 2025-2026 school year to certify the origin of their food items, with a specific requirement that processed food products must contain over 51% of food components (by weight or volume) from U.S. sources.
Vendors must complete the form by selecting one of two certification options: either affirming that all food products are 100% produced or processed in the U.S., or listing specific non-domestic food items with justification for their inclusion. Justifications can include insufficient domestic production quantities or significantly higher costs of U.S. products. The form requires vendors to provide details such as percentage of U.S. content, origin of the product, and comparative pricing between domestic and non-domestic options. Child Nutrition Staff will review the information and make final purchasing decisions based on the submitted certification.
