If the director of agriculture has not entered into an agreement with the United States department of agriculture in compliance with section 918.44 of the Revised Code, he shall establish and maintain a state acceptance service within the department of agriculture to examine and monitor compliance by meat and poultry vendors on the list established and maintained by the director of administrative services under section 125.17 of the Revised Code with the specifications of the state purchase contracts awarded them under section 125.11 of the Revised Code, and by establishments, as defined in section 918.01 or 918.21 of the Revised Code, subject to state or federal inspection. State acceptance service shall be made available to such vendors and establishments within the state from eight a.m. to five p.m. Monday through Friday.

A state acceptor shall examine and monitor the production of the meat or poultry products to determine whether there is compliance with the state purchase contract specifications. The containers of products found to be in compliance shall be sealed, dated, and marked with an official mark.
