adulteration constituting a health hazard, or which has not been listed in an appropriate Government directory as a 

sanitarily approved establishment when required. Accordingly, the supplier agrees that, except as indicated in 

paragraphs (2) and (3) below, products furnished as a result of this contract will originate only in establishments 

listed in the U.S. Army Public Health Center (USAPHC) Circular 40-1, Worldwide Directory of Sanitarily Approved Food 

Establishments for Armed Forces Procurement, (Worldwide Directory) available at: https://phc.amedd.army.mil/topics/

Sanitation Requirements for Food Establishments, is mandatory for listing of establishments in the Worldwide 

Directory. Suppliers also agree to inform the Contracting Officer immediately upon notification that a facility is no
