suitable in accordance with various statutory requirements and agency 
policies. Using the Application for approval of Commodity Eligibility 
(form AID 11), the supplier certifies to USAID information about the 
commodities being supplied, as required in section 604(f), so that 
USAID may determine eligibility.
