FDPIR Supply Chain Disruptions Consultation Follow-Up
Monday, December 9, 2024 (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM) (EST)
Description
Dec 9, 2024 12:00 PM EST
USDA continues to work urgently to return to regular, on-time deliveries of quality USDA Foods from the contracted national multi-food warehouse to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). USDA’s crisis response will be ongoing until inventory levels at CSFP and FDPIR sites and the availability of a sufficient variety and quantity of food resources for program participants return to acceptable levels for all participants.
Since the October 9, 2024, Tribal consultation, USDA has provided an update on the emergency surge contract and quality control, and transitioned the case management team to regional FNS staff by request of Tribal leaders and ITO staff. USDA will continue to implement short-term actions and to publish updated information regularly at www.fns.usda.gov/usda-foods/supply-chain-disruptions. USDA will also continue to communicate information and to answer questions during regularly scheduled meetings. USDA’s dedicated team of case managers will continue to provide one-on-one weekly outreach as well.
The consultation will take place virtually and in person on Monday, December 9, 2024, in Las Vegas, NV.
