DoD Fresh Fruit and Vegetable
Program
DoD Fresh F&V Program
DoD Fresh Program is an OPTION that States
may OFFER to schools (not required to offer)
Since 2002: Farm Bill requires $50 million of
entitlement to be spent annually through 2007
The Program is intended to provide
SOME/MORE fresh produce for schools
Section 4&11 funds MAY BE USED to buy more
DoD produce in addition to the above entitlement
purchases
DoD Today
47 States, DC, VI, PR, & Guam will participate in
SY 07-08
PA, KS, & DE are not setting aside commodity
entitlement dollars for this option
About 20 States have chosen to utilize Section
4 & 11 funds in addition to or in lieu of entitlement
dollars
SY 06-07 deliveries were delayed until Sept 06 as
FNS switched to fiscal year allocation system (this
system will continue)
DoD Changes
New Procurement System - using Long-Term
Contracts
Schools will have 24/7 access to “FFAVORS” (webbased ordering system)
Some DoD staff will remain in field to handle
customer support & complaint issues
FFAVORS is expected to improve monitoring of
orders at all levels
ECOS
ECOS Enhancements
 Enhancements for Co-ops
– Co-ops can roll-up member orders
into full truckloads, or combine them
with other ECOS users
– Co-ops can access information on
commodities available, entitlement,
requisitions, delivery orders, etc.
– Co-ops can manage orders for their
members like the State does for
recipient agencies
