Vendors

The ITCN WIC Program recognizes and values the important partnership we share with our WIC Vendors. Vendors are critical in promoting healthy families and supporting participant well-being. By ensuring that participants receive the correct types and quantities of authorized WIC foods, Vendors help maintain the integrity and success of the program.

BECOME A VENDOR

Overview

The ITCN WIC Program authorizes vendors for a three-year agreement period. Applications submitted outside of this cycle are reviewed only when there is a demonstrated need for additional participant access to a WIC-approved store.

Only retailers authorized as ITCN WIC Vendors are permitted to redeem ITCN WIC benefits.

To become an ITCN WIC-Approved Vendor, You Must:

Operate as a full-line grocery store offering meat, dairy, produce (fresh, frozen, and canned), and dry goods.

Maintain a permanent, fixed store location with adequate refrigeration, freezer capacity, and shelving.

Remain in full compliance with SNAP requirements.

Meet WIC minimum stock requirements for all required items at all times.

Keep pricing competitive with other similar retailers.

Purchase infant formula only from approved distributors.

Ensure your store is EBT-compatible.
