Manufactured Foods Flexible Funding Model (MF-FFM)

Section 1009 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 USC § 399, limits eligibility to State, local, territorial, and tribal agencies and non-profit training entities that collaborate with 1 or more institutions of higher education. Competition is limited to these national organizations/associations for the following reasons: Limited competition ensures the applicant has responsibility and authority for food regulation in their respective jurisdictions. The contract must be maintained in satisfactory condition. Awardees must have or be willing to enter into a 20.88 information disclosure agreement with the FDA and will be required to have at least a commissioning certificate (or be willing to procure one) in order to facilitate information sharing between other States and FDA.
