The HHS/GSA Health and Sustainability Guidelines for Federal Concessions and Vending Operations ("Guidelines") are being updated through a collaborative federal effort. It is anticipated that the updated Guidelines will be disseminated following the release of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2015.
As part of the update process, the General Services Administration is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather responses from the vending and food service industry, private and public sector worksite leadership, public and environmental health organizations and other interested parties on the successes and barriers encountered when implementing the current guidelines. Interested individuals and organizations can view and provide comments in response to the RFI by going here. The public comment period is now open and will close Sept. 15.

The initiative, which reimburses schools for buying locally grown or processed food, was created in 2011 as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National School Lunch Program.
