Notes:

• Your state agency uses your preorder response as a product commitment.
• Your state agency may adjust the product quantities up or down when they balance the preorder.
• Your organization can edit the preorder responses or delete the preorder responses until the state agency changes the preorder status to Balance.
• Your state agency establishes the maximum percent of entitlement and the threshold entitlement amounts for sponsors participating in the DoD fresh fruit program (when included in a preorder).
