USDA Organic Certification for Handlers: The Organic System Plan (OSP) Explained
Monday, June 15, 2026, 10:00 AM PST (1:00 PM EST)
The Organic System Plan (OSP) is a core component of USDA organic certification, outlining how an operation meets National Organic Program (NOP) requirements. Join SCS Global Services for a practical overview of the SCS’ Handler Organic System Plan (OSP) and USDA organic certification process, from application submission through certification decision. The session is designed for handlers, brokers, traders, importers, private label brand owners, and storage or distribution operations, including those that may not take physical possession of organic product.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of required OSP sections, supporting documentation, and common areas that may require follow up during certification review. The webinar will also outline the five stage certification process and highlight publicly available USDA and NOP resources that support first time applicants.
Topics include:
• Required Handler OSP sections applicable to all operations
• Additional OSP sections that may apply to handlers taking physical possession of organic product
• Overview of the USDA organic certification process and timelines
• Documentation commonly requested as part of the certification review process
• National Organic Program (NOP) resources available to organic applicants
Whether preparing an initial application or seeking clarity on certification requirements, attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of the Handler OSP and the organic certification process.
