Management And Budget, Office Of

The Delaware Office of Management and Budget, operating as Support Services-Division of Food Distribution, is a U.S. state government entity that administers federal nutrition assistance formula grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on behalf of the state of Delaware. The entity operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) under five distinct USDA programs and receives no federal contracts; all 86 awards in the source footprint are formula grants with no subcontract activity.

The Delaware OMB Food Distribution division's grant portfolio centers on four core USDA nutrition programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service funds the bulk of the work across the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP, CFDA 10.565), the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP, CFDA 10.568), and the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560). Representative recent awards include $193,019 for TEFAP Administrative Costs (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), $133,889 for CSFP administrative operations supporting low-income elderly persons aged 60 and older (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), and $133,813 for Child Nutrition administrative expenses (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027). A secondary USDA grantor, the Agricultural Marketing Service, funds operational costs under TEFAP pass-through grants to local agencies. The entity serves as the state-level conduit for distributing federal food assistance and administering compliance, record-keeping, and technical assistance to local food banks, soup kitchens, school districts, and community organizations participating in these nutrition programs throughout Delaware.

Customer concentration is complete within USDA: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for the vast majority of the 86 awards, with the Agricultural Marketing Service rounding out the portfolio. Activity has declined over the past five years — from six awards in 2022 to one in 2026 — though this reflects the cyclical nature of formula grants rather than portfolio contraction; the most recent award (June 9, 2026) indicates ongoing program participation. Five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will cycle through the annual formula-grant renewal process. Because this is a state government entity administering federal programs rather than a federal contractor or competitive-procurement vendor, it does not compete on contract vehicles, does not pursue set-asides, and does not operate as a subcontractor.
