Procurement Procedure

Each SFA should have a procurement procedure in place. After completing this module, locate your procurement procedure and review it carefully. Work with your business administrator to make necessary changes. SFAs must use the most restrictive guidelines for purchasing thresholds, whether they be federal, state or local thresholds. Make sure to outline thresholds for each type of procurement (i.e. micro purchase, informal, formal). Then outline the plan for procuring new vendors for the Child Nutrition Program.
