What it is and who needs it.
What this bond actually secures
A donated food processor handles unfinished foods donated by the USDA — bulk commodity foods provided to New York for programs like the National School Lunch Program — and processes, manufactures, packages, or finishes them under a processing agreement with the state. Because the state stays accountable to the USDA for the value of those donated foods, it asks the processor to post a bond.
The bond runs to the New York Office of General Services, Division of Governmental Donated Foods. It secures that you handle the donated foods in accordance with your agreement — protecting the value of the commodities the state has entrusted to you. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
The penal sum is set by the Division and scales to the value of donated foods you handle, so enter the figure OGS assigned you. Because it is a fixed-form licensing bond, it is instant-issue — no financial statements, no credit check, no underwriter queue. Apply, pay, and file the same day.
