The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma $402,323 under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (CFDA 10.567) on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027.

The award funds administrative costs for operating FDPIR on behalf of the tribe, enabling the Ponca Tribe to certify income-eligible households, order from over 100 available USDA foods, and distribute monthly supplemental food packages to participating households. Eligible households include those residing on the reservation or in approved service areas in Oklahoma, with income determined against SNAP net monthly income eligibility standards adjusted for applicable SNAP standard deductions by household size. Households may select their food package from available items including frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, grains, dairy, oil, and fresh fruits and vegetables provided through a USDA–Department of Defense partnership. The tribe certifies household eligibility, maintains case files and records for three years following fiscal year close, and receives annual administrative funding; USDA Foods remain available to order and distribute as needed throughout the performance period.

The Ponca Tribe, a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Ponca City, Oklahoma, operates this award as a prime recipient serving tribal members and surrounding rural communities in Kay and Noble Counties. Place of performance is Ponca City, Oklahoma.
