Updated Master Solicitation for Commodity Procurement - Domestic Programs (MSCP-D)

The Updated Master Solicitation for Commodity Procurement - Domestic Programs (MSCP-D) is a Special Notice issued by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service effective November 19, 2025. This solicitation applies to all domestic commodity procurement division solicitations issued on or after that date and establishes the framework for federal procurement of agricultural commodities and food products for domestic distribution programs. The notice is open to vendors interested in supplying commodities to the USDA and directs interested parties to visit the AMS website for additional details. There is no set-aside used for this opportunity, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors regardless of business size or classification. The solicitation has a due date of May 18, 2026 for submissions.

The MSCP-D facilitates the procurement of domestically-sourced food products, including meat, dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, and processed food items, to support federal food distribution programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Commodity Supplemental Food Program, and Emergency Food Assistance programs. Vendors must submit electronic bids through the Web Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) system and are required to obtain plant registration, develop compliant food defense plans, and provide origin certification documentation prior to bid opening. Eligible contractors include small businesses, farmer-owned cooperatives, and other responsible vendors meeting federal anti-discrimination compliance standards. Evaluation criteria emphasize price competitiveness, delivery capabilities, and adherence to federal regulations, with awards granted to responsible bidders offering the most advantageous terms to the government. Prospective vendors should review detailed packaging, labeling, and commodity-specific requirements outlined in the master solicitation document.
