Poultry and Eggs Food Security Plan Requirement for the 2005-2006 Contract Period
An Update from TRAP-IT Security

The USDA is requiring poultry and egg suppliers participating in the 2005 Federal Food and Nutrition program to certify that a facility Food Security Plan is in place as part of their commodity procurement bid package.

Purchase announcements for 2005 will be published on the USDA AMS web site from May 2005 through February 2006. Contracts will be awarded from July 2005 through March 2006.

TRAP-IT Security has developed a food security planning software product to help individual manufacturers prepare and organize their food security programs. The TRAP-IT® Food Security Planner creates a credible, documented and auditable food security plan that is customized to each specific facility and will meet the USDA 2005-2006 Contract Period requirements.
