109 member districts serving over 41 million meals per year.
Annual entitlement of $13.3 million (breakdown below-approx spending based on surveys)
Processing $9 million
Brown Box $3.7 million
DOD $ 1.5 million
Pilot $200,000
CDE Allows for overspending, which we do because of the annual cancellations. From surveys we overpent by more than $850,000. With cancellations we still have $641,000 left to spent this year. That is a $1.5 million swing. We are currently looking at USDA catalog to see what is available to purchase to spend the remaining funds

Kerri-
All remaining inventory at processors is SLIC Coops pounds. While some of these pounds are subject to sweep by the CDE in October, the remaining value of all pounds remaining are tallied and redistributed to SLIC Coop members on a fair share basis.
As you can see, there was over 2.3 million pounds of processed end products remaining at the end of , converting to FMV, the total value was just over $2.7 million. As a result the SLIC Coop redistributed $2 million to all coops members.
This additional entitlement can be used for Processing and Brown Box without pre-approval. DOD requires approval by the lead district and the State.
Reminder: In order to receive your commodity discounts, schools must purchase USDA Foods through the SLIC Contracted Distributor. This ensures maximum utilization of pounds and best pricing for your district.

9. Department of Defense Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Reminder: 100 percent of DOD monies must be used by May 1st. All unused DOD funds will be swept by the CDE

Kerri-
This process is important to the Coops, as all requests for USDA Foods are completed through this process.
Last year statistics
- 57 of 104 members completed the request form (55%)
Diversions were made to those manufacturers with a 45% or higher positive response. This means that half of the half of members made the decision for the whole group.
-20 to 44 percent positive response received diversions based on available funds. (3.7 million spent on brown box, $1.5 million on DOD, remaining $9 million on processing.
As an example, 1 truckload of beef is $150K
Less than 17% did not receive pounds, since no entitlement was available. This affected 21 manufacturers

12. USDA Foods Request Process

Elaine-
Update on the status of the brown box allocation process
well received by schools
brief overview of requirement of USDA for full truckload quantities (LTL with match)
This is an example of the Brown Box Request Data. As you can see meeting full truckload requirement are difficult and require the SLIC Coop Executive Committee to make decisions on how many trucks will be requested and in what months those trucks will actually come in.

14. Updates to 2019-20 Annual Entitlement Expenditure Request
MANDATORY– Due date is February 22, 2019
No exceptions
Based on historical dates that Brown Box is received, we are limiting the available months to request items.
This will ensure that we have capability to meet full truckload quantities
Improved visibility of anticipated receive dates to more easily predict use of storage (either at district or at Gold Star)
Processing Survey – please ensure that you are denoting the processors you are planning on using, paying attention to both the processor and the end product.
