The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Delaware Office of Management and Budget $178,417 on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560), a formula grant providing administrative funds to state agencies supervising and delivering technical assistance to schools and institutions operating Child Nutrition Programs.
The recipient, operating as Support Services–Division of Food Distribution, administers federal nutrition assistance formula grants on behalf of Delaware. The award funds administrative expenses for state-level oversight, compliance, record-keeping, and technical assistance to local school districts and child care institutions participating in the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program throughout Delaware.
The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. The allocation is calculated as a percentage of funds expended by the state during the second preceding fiscal year under the Child Nutrition Act and National School Lunch Act, with percentages varying by program. The state agency must maintain accounting records identifying fund authorizations, obligations, unobligated balances, and outlays, and may carry over up to twenty percent of allocated SAE funds for obligation and expenditure during the succeeding fiscal year.
