As of October 1, 2025, no Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 appropriation or Continuing Resolution (CR) has been enacted for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a result, the agency has entered a lapse in funding and is operating under its contingency staffing plan. During this period, only select activities that are legally authorized—such as those related to immediate public health threats and functions supported by available carryover user fees—will continue.

Dear Alan,
We want to express our appreciation for MDI’s guidance and assistance in helping us achieve our MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) certification. At this time, the MDSAP process is very new to both the companies wishing to obtain certification and the auditors. Success is only possible with in-depth understanding of all MDSAP requirements and their complete implementation.
The MDI Consultant team worked closely with our staff throughout the entire process providing stable and consistent support. Though there were several unexpected obstacles along the way, you continued to work and support the FEI staff to achieve its goal.
MDI’s professional and timely commitment to helping us achieve the MDSAP certification goal is exemplary. We hope to continue to work with MDI to support the compliant operations of our quality system as well as for other future projects.
