The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Cheyenne Arapaho Tribe $1,029,491 on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (CFDA 10.567) to administer nutrition assistance delivery to income-eligible households.

The award funds administrative costs for the Tribe to certify eligible households, order USDA Foods from a list of over 100 domestically purchased items (frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, produce, grains, dairy, and oils), receive and store foods on a predetermined schedule, and distribute monthly food packages based on household size and federal guide rates. The Tribe is responsible for maintaining accurate program records and household case files for three years following the close of each fiscal year. Eligible participants are income-eligible households residing on the reservation or in approved areas near the reservation or in approved service areas in Oklahoma; households may not participate in both FDPIR and SNAP simultaneously.

The award covers the period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance at Concho, Oklahoma 73022. Administrative funding carries a two-fiscal-year period of availability before expiration. The Cheyenne Arapaho Tribe, a federally recognized tribal government serving approximately 13,000 to 14,000 enrolled members across nine to eleven counties in western Oklahoma, has managed multiple federal grant programs including Head Start, child care development, transit, and justice system initiatives.
