Vendors must meet strict USDA grade standards, specific weight ranges, packaging specifications, freezing conditions, and provide detailed documentation regarding product origin, processing, and ingredient composition. Awards will be made based on equal consideration of price and past performance, with preference given to Faith-Based and Community-Based Organizations.
