						 Title: Processing of Commodity Pork Description: Approve the processing of commodity pork for the School Food Service Department  
  
·      The School Food Service Department receives various commodities, including pork, from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).  These commodities have to be processed into a useable form. 
  
 
·     J.T.M. Provisions, Inc. is currently the only approved processor for USDA commodity boneless pork. 
   
·       The boneless pork is processed into the following products:  fully-cooked reduced-fat pork taco filling, fully-cooked shredded pork with Bar-B-Q sauce and fully-cooked pork meatballs with Teriyaki sauce filling.   
  
·       J.T.M. Provisions, Inc. processes the boneless pork using the fee-for-service method which represents a processor’s costs of ingredients (other than donated foods), labor, packaging, overhead, and other costs incurred in the conversion of the donated food into the specific end product. 
  
·       The cost is estimated at $100,000. 
Recommendation: 
I recommend approval of the processing of commodity pork by J.T.M. Provisions, Inc. and authorize the Superintendent and Board Chairman to sign all needed documents.     
Financial Impact: 
The financial impact to the District Budget is estimated at $100,000.  The source of funds is the School Food Services Department budget.
