The award funds technology solutions for planning, implementation, or maintenance and enhancements to the automated systems that operate and manage Nevada's child nutrition programs. Performance occurs in Nevada, with a period of performance from September 30, 2025, through September 30, 2028. All grant funds must be obligated and program activities completed by the end of the award period; closeout must occur no later than 120 days following the termination date, and all obligations must be liquidated within that timeframe. Records must be retained for three years.

The Child Nutrition-Technology Innovation Grant program provides non-competitive funding to state agencies administering child nutrition programs. State agencies and the local organizations with which they have agreements administering child nutrition programs benefit from the funded technology solutions.
