## Description

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is seeking suppliers of black bean burgers to help support the demand for wholesome, high-quality products for use in USDA Foods nutrition assistance programs. The Commodity Procurement Program’s (CPP) recent review of its purchasing activities has shown additional suppliers are needed to fully support the demand for products in the department’s nutrition assistance programs.

Black bean burger producers not currently participating as vendors for USDA’s nutrition assistance programs are invited to contact CPP new vendor specialists at newvendor@usda.gov for information on how to become an approved vendor. Producers can also visit the Become a USDA Foods Vendor webpage to start the process or find more information by visiting Selling Food to USDA on the AMS website. AMS regularly purchases a variety of 100% domestically produced and processed commodity food products.

These purchases support American agriculture by encouraging consumption of domestically produced foods. The wholesome, high-quality products purchased by USDA, collectively called USDA Foods, are delivered to schools, food banks and households in communities across the country, and are a vital component of our nation’s food safety net.
