FCI Danbury 4th Quarter Vegetables

The provided document,

The National Menu Specifications Quote Sheet for FCI Danbury, Fiscal Year 2026, 4th Quarter, outlines mandatory requirements for food item procurement. All delivered items must comply with federal, state, and local regulations regarding preparation, packaging, labeling, storage, distribution, and sale, including provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. Specific attention is given to allergen labeling for major allergens like wheat, fish, milk, soy, tree nuts, eggs, peanuts, shellfish, and sesame. Failure to meet these specifications will result in disqualification, with no substitutions accepted. While items generally do not need to be from the U.S. or Canada unless specified, certain vegetables, like green beans, beets, carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, peas, and spinach (both canned and frozen), must originate from crops grown, processed, and packed entirely in the U.S. or Canada. Broccoli, however, *MUST* be packed in the United States, Canada, or Mexico. The document lists various canned and frozen beans, tomatoes, and vegetables, detailing their specific CID, CFR, and U.S. Grade requirements. The FSA determines which options are put out to bid, and the NFSA/Chief Dietitian makes the final determination on product compliance.
