Limited Competition: Advancing Conformance with the Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards (VNRFRPS) (U18): The intended outcome of this FOA is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated food safety system by assisting retail food
regulatory programs in achieving conformance with the Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards
(VNRFRPS or Retail Program Standards). The Retail Program Standards apply to the operation and management of a retail
food regulatory program that is focused on the reduction of risk factors known to cause or contribute to foodborne illness and
to the promotion of active managerial control of these risk factors. These cooperative agreements are intended to assist regulatory food retail programs in developing, implementing, and improving the infrastructure necessary to support
conformance with the VNRFRPS.
