Project Grant 231DC382N7603

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Child Nutrition-Technology Innovation Grant program (CFDA 10.541) awarded a $373,134 Project Grant to the District of Columbia's Government Office of Contracting and Procurement, doing business as the DC State Education Office, on March 1, 2024. The grant funding will enable the DC State Education Office, which administers child nutrition programs in the District, to implement innovative technology solutions to improve program accountability, data accuracy, performance measurement, and management capabilities across initiatives such as the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Summer Food Service Program. The DC State Education Office will likely sub-grant portions of the funding to the District of Columbia Public Schools and other local entities to directly implement the technology projects and upgrades across the child nutrition programs serving students and families in Washington, D.C.
