The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is accepting applications for the 2025-2027 Farm to Child Nutrition Programs Competitive Reimbursement Grant under OregonBuys solicitation S-58100-00017390. The grant provides additional reimbursement funding to eligible existing Farm to CNP Noncompetitive Reimbursement Grant recipients for qualifying Oregon-grown and Oregon-processed foods used in Child Nutrition Programs.
Funding
ODE previously announced that $2 million is allocated to the 2025-2027 Competitive Reimbursement Grant. The current public program page does not state an individual applicant maximum, so Atlas is not inferring one.
Eligibility
Applicants must have received a 2025-2027 Farm to CNP Noncompetitive Reimbursement Grant award and must have fully expended those funds before becoming eligible for the Competitive Reimbursement Grant. This makes the opportunity restricted to existing eligible grantees rather than a general public procurement.
Deadline and submission
OregonBuys lists the bid opening/application closing date as May 31, 2027 at 3:00 PM. The accessible official header does not display a time-zone label, so applicants should confirm the portal time zone before final submission. The OregonBuys header states that electronic quotes are not allowed and identifies the opportunity as invitation-only/subgrantee funding. ODE’s current program page confirms that applications opened August 3, 2026.
Current documents and amendments
The current OregonBuys package lists the Request for Grant Applications, the August 14, 2026 Q&A document, and a Notice of Intent to Award for Round 1. Amendments on August 3 corrected the RFA and Round 1 closing date, later amendments added Q&A material, and a September 1 amendment added the Round 1 intent-to-award notice.
Eligible and ineligible costs
The program is designed to reimburse qualifying Oregon-grown and Oregon-processed foods. ODE’s current guidance specifically excludes pizza products, tortillas, and tortilla chips beginning with the 2025-2027 biennium. Applicants should use the current allowable/unallowable products guidance and the RFA for all cost determinations.
Grant period and reporting
ODE states that all grant purchases must be made and received by June 30, 2027. All funds must be processed in EGMS by August 14, 2027, and the final report is due September 30, 2027.
Atlas analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 67/100. This is a verified, currently open Oregon school-nutrition funding opportunity with a long application horizon and a meaningful statewide allocation, but eligibility is limited to existing 2025-2027 Farm to CNP Noncompetitive Reimbursement Grant recipients that have already fully expended their awards. N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The verified scope is food reimbursement for Child Nutrition Programs and does not support a legitimate remote physical examination, telehealth, guided-vitals, or connected-clinical-device use case. Atlas does not recommend Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare direct-vendor pursuit on the verified scope.
