The DLA Troop Support outlines comprehensive quality assurance protocols for produce contractors, encompassing unannounced Quality Systems Management Visits (QSMVs) and Produce Quality Audits. QSMVs review contractor compliance, storage, inventory, and recall procedures, potentially extending to subcontractors. Produce Quality Audits, conducted by USDA-AMS and DLA Troop Support, ensure adherence to contractual requirements, US Grade Number 1 quality, and prevent misrepresentation. Contractors undergo audits at least annually, bearing costs for samples, facilities, and equipment. Products are rated Green (acceptable), Yellow (minor nonconformance), Blue (major nonconformance, requiring immediate stop issue), or Red (critical nonconformance, requiring immediate stop issue and recall). Contractors must take corrective action for identified deficiencies, with audit failures or lack of correction potentially leading to contract termination or follow-up audits. Traceability requirements mandate documentation from grower to customer, especially for re-packaged items, to facilitate recalls and ensure food safety. Contractors must maintain 85% acceptability for each commodity.
