          Pre-Order Process Information - Annual Requirement

          The Pre-Order Process is an annual requirement for all sponsors. The process allows you to allocate next year's Entitlement to programs and reserve USDA items for your organization. The Pre-Order Survey tells OSPI Child Nutrition how much, and what types of foods to order through USDA. The survey is released in February every year, and helps us determine which foods to order in the upcoming year.
