Search Tips

Downloading Data: You can export all the operation, scope and certified product information for your search results to a single spreadsheet. Full data snapshots in the combined search results export and data submission template formats are provided monthly on the Data History page.

Using Downloaded Data: When product lists are very long, you may need to customize the Find (Ctrl-F) function in Excel by clicking the Options button in the Find and Replace window and selecting Look in: Values. Please use the search interface to narrow down your operation list as much as possible before exporting it.

Reporting Data Problems: If you find data you believe is incomplete or incorrect, contact the responsible Certifier.

Getting Help: Send questions about how to use the Organic INTEGRITY Database, and/or any system errors to INTEGRITY@usda.gov. An NOP Team Member will contact you within two business days.

Using the Organic INTEGRITY Database Search Engine:

• To filter organic operations by the Certifier that issued the organic certificate, choose a Certifier from the dropdown list.
• To filter organic operations by business name, enter full or partial information in the Operation Name box.
• To select an organic operation by the NOP Operation ID, enter the 10 digit number in the box.
• To select an organic operation by the Certifier Client ID, enter the ID in the box.
• To filter organic operations by Contact Name, enter part or all of a name in the box.
• To filter organic operations by Street Address, enter part or all of the address in the box.
• To filter organic operations by City, enter part or all of the city name in the box.
• To filter organic operations by State or Province, enter one or more states or provinces in the box. Enter the full state or province name or abbreviation. Auto-complete suggestions will be provided for U.S. states.
• To filter organic operations by ZIP or Postal Code, enter part or all of the code in the box.
• To filter organic operations by Country, select one or more countries from the list.

• To find organic operations that produce all the products you are looking for, click the “AND” radio button.
• To find organic operations that produce an exact product name, such as Gelatin rather than Gelatinized, enter the product name in the Exact Product Name search box. Leave the Certified Products search box empty.
• To find formerly certified farms or livestock operations, search for surrendered and suspended crops or livestock scopes instead of using the Services and Business Types search criteria.
