Addendum 6.pdf

This is Addendum 6 to the Farm to Child Nutrition Program (CNP) Education Grant RFP issued by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). The addendum addresses a critical point allocation error identified in the Capacity Sustaining Full Grant Application and Scoresheet, specifically correcting Question 2 from 6 points to the proper 13 points to align with established evaluation criteria. The modification ensures consistency across all application documents and scoring mechanisms. The addendum revises Section 7 (List of Attachments) to update file naming conventions to match documents posted in Oregon Buys, including the Mini Grant Evaluation Criteria and Points, Capacity Sustaining Full Grant Evaluation Criteria and Points, application forms, budget worksheets, and sample budgets, along with the FAQ document and all previous addenda. Applications remain due November 16, 2025, with award notifications expected around December 10, 2025, and the grant period running from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027.

The correction to the point allocation structure maintains the integrity of the evaluation process for both mini grants and capacity sustaining full grants, with the latter offering between $15,001 and $100,000 in funding. This technical amendment does not alter the total available funding of $3,000,000 for the 2025-2027 biennium or the first-round mini grant cap of $750,000, nor does it change eligibility requirements, allowable expenses, or the mandatory training requirement. The amendment reflects standard RFP management practices to ensure fair and accurate evaluation of all submitted applications based on the corrected scoring criteria.
