for sale to VA under the solicitation
conform to certain technical industry
standards, such as United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Institutional Meat Purchase
Specifications, and that the contractor
furnish evidence to VA that the items
meet that requirement. The evidence is
normally in the form of a tag or seal
affixed to the item, such as a label on
beef product. In most cases, this
requires no additional effort on the part
of the contractor, as the items come
from the factory with the tags already in
place, as part of the manufacturer’s
standard manufacturing operation.
Occasionally, for items not already
meeting standards or for items not
previously tested, a contractor will have
to furnish a certificate from an
acceptable laboratory certifying that the
items furnished have been tested in
accordance with, and conform to, the
specified standards. Only firms whose
products have not previously been
tested to ensure the products meet the
industry standards required under the
solicitation and contract will be
required to submit a separate certificate.
The information will be used to ensure
that the items being purchased meet
minimum safety standards and to
protect VA beneficiaries and VA
employees.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
