US Department of Agriculture launches commodity procurement website

The launch of a new website should provide vendors with streamlined access to information about purchase programs of the US Department of Agriculture’s Commodity Procurement Division.

The website, www.ams.usda.gov/CommodityPurchasing, combines the Web locations of the Agricultural Marketing Service’s purchase programs for fruit and vegetables, livestock and seed, and poultry.

The service combined its procurement for those three branches earlier this year and the new website provides a standardized, integrated platform.
