I. General

A. U.S. Standards

Frozen potato products (product/commodity) produced under this Commodity 

Specification must meet the requirements specified in the applicable United States 

Standards for Grades of Frozen French Fried Potatoes or United States Standards for 

Grades of Frozen Sweet potatoes, (U.S. Standards) and/or the Commercial Item 

Description (CID) effective on the date of the Solicitation/Invitation for Bid (IFB). 

The U.S. Standards and CID are published separately and are incorporated herein and 

made a part of this Commodity Specification.

B. Exceptions to U.S. Standards

Exceptions to the U.S. Standards for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) frozen 

potato and sweet potato product purchases are found in Section II, Individual Product 

Specifications, of this document. Additional exceptions may be specified in the 

applicable Solicitation/IFB. Any exceptions contained in the applicable 

Solicitation/IFB shall have precedence over the requirements contained herein, for 

that Solicitation/IFB only.

C. Product Origin

1. Commodities delivered pursuant to this Commodity Specification shall have 

originated from crops that have been 100 percent grown, processed, and packed in 

the United States, its territories or possessions, the Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico, or the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, (hereinafter referred to as the 

United States). See Section I.E. of the AMS Master Solicitation for Commodity 

Procurements.

2. If the contractor handles any commodity originating from sources other than the 

United States, the contractor must have a written plan to segregate the 

commodity. This segregation plan will include an identification and record 

system for all commodities to ensure they are completely segregated and cannot 

be used to fulfill purchase orders awarded by USDA. Such segregation plan must 

be made available, within 10 days of purchase order award, to representatives of 

the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).

3. The contractor must maintain positive written documentation records evidencing 

100 percent domestic origin to the grower level. Contractors must also ensure 

that the documentation provided by any subcontractors demonstrates the same 

level of traceability. The burden of proof of compliance is on the contractor. 

Documentation may include load or warehouse storage receipts for raw product 

(i.e., bin tags), product blend (formulation) records, product coding explanations, 

finished product warehousing records, shipping or payment records, or other 

documentation or evidence that clearly establishes the product's domestic origin. 
Commodity Specification Frozen Potato Products

5 April 2012

4. Contractors must provide the domestic origin certification and supporting 

documentation records to representatives of the AMS Fruit and Vegetable 

Program, Processed Products Division (USDA Inspector) when requesting 

inspection service. USDA Inspector will select and review at least one code for

each contract to determine compliance with the Agency's domestic origin 

requirements.

5. Such records must be available for review by the Government in accordance with 

FAR 52.214-26. In the event of an audit, AMS auditors will examine as many 

codes as is necessary to verify compliance.

6. Self-certifications by contractors and subcontractors will not be accepted.

7. Failure to observe this requirement may lead to suspension or debarment, 

purchase order/contract termination, and penalties at Title 18, Section 1001 of the 

U.S. Code concerning falsification of information.

D. Kosher Products

Occasionally, purchase units will be identified on Solicitations/IFBs as “Kosher

Only.” And will be so identified in the Solicitation/IFB. Offerors must not bid on 

these purchase units unless they are properly certified to produce Kosher products. 

Vendors must comply with the applicable dietary (KOSHER) laws as established by 

the “613 COUNCIL OF KASHRUTH.”

Vendors receiving purchase order items identified as “KOSHER” must contact the 

Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York (BJENY) at telephone 646-472-

5365 prior to submitting a bid to certify compliance with the applicable dietary 

(kosher) laws.

A rabbinic supervisor will be sent by the BJENY to certify compliance with the
