  <title><![CDATA[Procurement and Business Services Announces Policy Change for Food Group Meal Form ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Procurement and Business Services announces a new policy change for food purchasers across campus. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The Procurement of Group Meals for Employees, Students, and Official Visitors policy has been changed to better align with the Georgia Tech Foundation policy and the Controller’s Office’s <a href="https://controller.gatech.edu/allowable-cost-matrix" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Allowable Cost Matrix</a>&nbsp;in relation to the Food Group Meal Form.</p>

<p>The Food Group Meal Form previously provided documentation for all food/group meal purchases with institutional, Foundation and sponsored funds.&nbsp;The updated policy <strong>no longer requires</strong> food purchasers to include the Food Group Meal Form when Georgia Tech Foundation funds or Georgia Tech Research Corp funds are used.</p>

<p>Food purchasers must continue to provide the form when purchasing with institutional or sponsored funds.</p>

<p>If you have any additional questions or need support regarding this policy change, please contact <a href="https://gatech.service-now.com/guest" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">ServiceNow</a>.&nbsp;</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
