Public Law 110-161, the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2008, provides that funds are available for the purposes specified in section 17(h)(10)(B) of the Child Nutrition Act as amended.

FNS will provide only one award under this solicitation. This application is available only to a limited number of vendors who meet eligibility criteria. The awardee will be selected on a competitive basis, based on an objective review of all proposals according to the technical evaluation criteria outlined in this Request For Applications.
