Produce and Grocery for Government Entities

Specification Driven

We understand that government contracts require a high level of specification and precision. Our government partners are unique in that they are exceptionally streamlined due to their size, and must be handled by sophisticated systems and processes. We can appreciate the requirements that must be met and adhered to including proof of delivery, merchandising, and audits.

We operate in real time with a skill set that collectively feeds into the ideas and the way government business runs. Ole Tyme possesses a track record of experience that proves we are well-positioned to handle these accounts.
