TDA Registered Vendor List
Annually, FSMCs must be registered to do business in Texas. Registration as a Texas vendor is not permanent. FSMC vendors can be removed from the approved FSMC vendor list due to providing false information or by demonstrating systemic or continued non-compliance with Child Nutrition regulations.
