Team Up is a free, in-person, full-day training lead by the USFA-USDA Cooperative Agreement on Improving School Food Procurement. Participants will master the 12 essential procurement steps, practice key elements to understand their importance, and explore how RFPs build strong vendor partnerships by prioritizing service quality over the lowest price. The session equips school food professionals with practical strategies for more reliable and sustainable procurement outcomes. In 2025 USFA held eight trainings around the United States including:
• Ankeny, Iowa • Athens, Georgia • Baltimore, Maryland • Bismark, North Dakota
• Boise, Idaho • Charleston, West Virginia • Gatlinburg, Tennessee • Sandy, Utah
