School Year 2025-2026
• WBSCM: Before heading out for summer break, ensure your team logs into WBSCM to maintain an active status. Check your user accounts to confirm that appropriate SFA staff members are active, have the correct roles assigned, and have up-to-date email addresses.
• Direct Delivery Items: Round 2 is complete. WBSCM requisitions are either associated with truckload sales order numbers or canceled (blank).
• Tracking USDA Foods: Requests for USDA Foods can be monitored using the WBSCM Requisition Status Report. Pricing fluctuations will continue until items reach “Purchased” status.
• Gold Star Foods: A new warehouse in Fort Worth will be utilized for the upcoming school year. TDA has updated all SY26 requisitions to reflect this change.
• DoD Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program: If you opted into this program, it will be displayed on your WBSCM Entitlement/Bonus Summary Report. TDA will load these funds into FFAVORS in late June. Note that unspent values in WBSCM cannot be moved to increase DoD Fresh program funds.
• Utilization of DoD Funds: TDA monitors monthly DoD fund usage in FFAVORS to ensure proper entitlement management. SFAs should aim to spend at least 10% of their funds per month to avoid the risk of redistribution.
• Resources: For helpful guidance on ordering USDA Foods, visit the Food Distribution Program for NSLP page.
School Year 2024-2025
• DoD Fresh FFV Program Participants:
o Complete receipts in FFAVORS for each delivery within two business days of the delivery date.
o Sales orders in “Order Received” status are available at your contracted warehouse and must be placed on a delivery schedule promptly.
o If needed, check with your contracted warehouse for available surplus.
For questions regarding USDA Foods, contact your Education Service Center Child Nutrition representative(s) for guidance, training, and technical assistance in WBSCM.
