The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Oklahoma Department of Human Services $735,479 on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560) to reimburse meal reimbursement expenses. The award funds administrative costs for the state agency's supervision and technical assistance to local schools, school districts, and institutions operating Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Special Milk, and Child and Adult Care Food Programs. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2027, with performance at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services serves as the state-level administrator and prime recipient, distributing federal funding to sub-recipients including county governments, nonprofit organizations, and community-based service providers throughout Oklahoma to support statewide child nutrition program administration. Funds are released contingent upon approval of the state agency's administrative expense plan and establishment of a written agreement with the Food and Nutrition Service. The state agency may carryover up to twenty percent of allocated SAE funds for obligation and expenditure in the succeeding fiscal year.
