The Buy American accommodation process provides the KSDE the ability to approve temporary relief for Sponsors that demonstrate they cannot meet the thresholds for non-domestic food purchases established in 7 CFR 210.21(d)(5) and 7 CFR 220.16(d)(5). The first threshold limit for non-domestic food purchases will be implemented beginning in SY 2025-26. Non-domestic food purchases by the Sponsors cannot exceed the annual threshold, which for SY 2025-2026 is 10 percent of total commercial food expenditures, and is intended to shift more purchases to domestic products. Domestic products are food products processed in the United States using agricultural commodities that are over 51 percent domestically grown.
