The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Oklahoma Department of Human Services $373,472 on October 1, 2025, under the National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) to support school lunch service delivery in Oklahoma.

The award funds administration and operation of the National School Lunch Program within Oklahoma, which provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or no-cost lunches to children in participating public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services, as the state agency administrator, determines school eligibility, reviews written applications from school food authorities, and maintains oversight of participating schools' compliance with federal meal pattern requirements and nonprofit food service operations.

The funding period runs from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Performance encompasses statewide coordination of NSLP participation across Oklahoma schools and child care institutions, with the state agency responsible for reviewing school applications, executing written participation agreements, and ensuring schools maintain records of finances, menu planning, meal counting, and claiming.

This is a formula grant, one of multiple federal grant awards the Oklahoma Department of Human Services administers as the designated state pass-through entity for social services and nutrition assistance programs across Oklahoma. The agency distributes federal funding to sub-recipients including school food authorities, county governments, and community-based service providers statewide.
