The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service has issued a Special Notice regarding an updated Commodity Requirements Document for Natural Pepperjack Cheese. This notice, posted on September 30, 2025, with the same due date, pertains to cheese manufacturing operations under NAICS code 311513 and falls within the Dairy Foods and Eggs product service category (PSC 8910). The notice does not utilize any set-aside provisions, making it available to all eligible contractors. The accompanying government file "Natural_Pepper_Jack_Cheese_CRD_October_2025.pdf" contains the detailed specifications and requirements. This special notice serves to inform potential contractors and current suppliers about modifications to the commodity standards for natural pepperjack cheese products.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to communicate updated technical specifications for natural pepperjack cheese, specifically establishing a maximum sodium content per 100 grams of shredded product along with an amended warranty period and other minor technical updates. The immediate posting and due date of September 30, 2025, suggests this is an informational notice rather than a solicitation requiring contractor responses or proposals. The document appears designed to ensure suppliers and manufacturers are aware of the revised commodity requirements that will govern future procurement activities. Given the nature of a Commodity Requirements Document, this notice likely affects existing contract holders and potential bidders for future cheese supply contracts with the Agricultural Marketing Service. The updates to sodium limitations and warranty terms indicate the government's continued focus on nutritional standards and product quality assurance in its food procurement programs.
