Procurement in FDP

All SFAs must procure their processors prior to the Annual Catalog each February. Processors can be procured by a single SFA, or through a purchasing cooperative. The process of procurement must follow purchasing rules and regulations. SFAs must secure contracts with each manufacturer prior to completing the annual survey. 

Available Processors

In the state of Utah there are about 50 different manufacturers available to process USDA Foods. Each of these processors must have a current National Processing Agreement or In-State Processing Agreement on file. In addition, the processor must have a State Participation Agreement with Utah. If you have a processor in mind, but are unsure if they are certified to process in Utah, please contact utahfdp@schools.utah.gov.
