USDA’s Commodity Procurement Division has launched a Web site providing vendors and other interested parties streamlined access to information regarding USDA’s purchase programs.  Earlier this year, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service consolidated the Livestock and Seed, Fruit, and Vegetable, and Poultry commodity procurement branches to form the commodity procurement division. The new Web site www.ams.usda.gov/CommodityPurchasing combines three purchasing Web locations into a single standardized, integrated, and user-friendly platform.
