Diversion/Processing

Welcome

This page is meant to assist recipient agencies/processors with diverting USDA Foods for further processing. USDA Foods processed end products allow recipient agencies the flexibility to purchase what they want and when that meets the needs of their students.

Summary End Product Data Schedules (SEPDS)

SEPDS are used by recipient agencies to identify what food product to divert to what processor and diverted food value (DFV). Once the proper planning and forecasting has been completed, recipient agencies use this information to place orders in the WBSCM system to divert USDA pounds to a processor.

Processor Commodity Calculators

Commodity calculators are used by recipient agencies to plan and place orders with processors after pounds have been diverted in WBSCM. For assistance with the calculators, recipient agencies will need to contact the individual processor. A competitive procurement is still required prior to placing order with processor.
