Snap fdpir SAE

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Nevada Department of Agriculture $369,783 on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (CFDA 10.567), a project grant obligating that full amount with a period of performance through September 30, 2027, and place of performance in Nevada.

The Nevada Department of Agriculture administers FDPIR as a state agency, certifying eligible households residing on participating Indian reservations and in approved service areas, distributing USDA Foods selected by Indian Tribal Organizations from a list of over 100 domestically purchased items including frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, dairy, and oils. The program provides monthly food packages to income-eligible households as an alternative to SNAP participation. Administrative funding supports program costs; FDPIR households cannot participate in SNAP simultaneously in the same month. USDA purchases and ships foods on a predetermined schedule set by the ITO and state agency, with the DoD Defense Logistics Agency providing fresh fruits, vegetables, and fresh eggs through the DoD Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program partnership. The state agency maintains household case files and program records for three years following fiscal year close and certifies households based on national SNAP net monthly income eligibility standards adjusted by the applicable SNAP standard deduction.
