The Kansas City Commodity Office (KCCO), Farm Service Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture is a buyer of domestic origin food commodities for use in various U.S. Government international food aid programs, and from time to time issues solicitations to purchase a variety of commodities. Specifications for commodity purchases are generally published in Commodity Requirements Documents (CRD) available on KCCO's website. A new CRD has been published to provide specifications for canned pink salmon (CPS1). The CRD is effective September 1, 2011. These requirements are being provided in this notice for all interested parties. This notice is independent of a known requirement to purchase salmon; presently, there is no solicitation published for the purchase of canned pink salmon.
