Summary
The Local Procurement Act amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to establish procurement requirements for the Department of Agriculture. The bill requires USDA to purchase meat and poultry products bearing 'Product of USA' or 'Made in the USA' labels to the maximum extent practicable, and to purchase fruits and vegetables grown in the state of delivery or adjacent states. The bill also directs USDA to prioritize contracts with vendors sourcing from small and mid-sized farms and to use selection criteria beyond lowest price when awarding contracts.
