Procurement Documents

Introduction

The Community Procurement Unit (CPU) is working in collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders to create resources related to procurement in the CACFP. We encourage all CACFP agencies to review the resources as they become available. If your agency currently has procurement processes in place, we encourage you to review the resources, and incorporate information or processes that may be needed based on local, state, or federal procurement regulations and standards.

The resources provided by the CPU are optional and are intended to assist agencies with navigating procurement in the CACFP. Please visit the Download Forms section of the Child Nutrition Information and Payment System (CNIPS).

Agencies have the option to use the resources provided by CPU or they may choose to develop their own informal and formal agreements.

For agencies choosing to develop their own vending food service agreements, aside from following local, state, and federal procurement regulations and standards, all agreements shall expressly and without exception stipulate the following contractual provisions:
