The Virginia Department of Education has awarded an amendment to contract #001167-1 to Chef Ann Foundation, effective July 21, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $458,024. This amendment modifies the scope of work under the Virginia Department of Education School and Community Nutrition Program (VDOE-SCNP) to refocus deliverables on assessment and strategic planning activities across multiple school divisions throughout the Commonwealth.

Under the amended contract, Chef Ann Foundation will conduct operational assessments for nine school divisions under Phase III and eight school divisions under Phase IV, with each assessment designed to evaluate current operations and provide recommendations for incorporating scratch cooking, local food procurement, and culturally inclusive meal offerings. The amendment removes Phase V, which previously provided onsite implementation support to eight participating divisions. The contract renewal period has been extended to three successive two-year periods, establishing a multi-year engagement structure for service delivery across Virginia's school system.
