Procurement Advisories

Procurement Advisories are time-sensitive documents. The table below contains a listing of advisories and their respective expiration dates.

Once an advisory does expire, it is moved to the Expired Procurement Advisory table and given a status of expired, canceled, or superseded.

Effective on October 1, 2000, the hard copy distribution of Procurement Advisories was discontinued (USDA Procurement Policy Division Memorandum of September 29, 2000).
