Food and Nutrition Service's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Food and Nutrition Service · Department of Agriculture
The Food & Nutrition Service (FNS) is the USDA component that administers federal nutrition-assistance programs — SNAP, WIC, and school meals — that put food on the table for tens of millions of Americans. Its ~$0.05B in FY2025 contract dollars go almost entirely to running and policing SNAP: financial-system support services (Deloitte), retailer fraud investigations & store visits (CoventBridge, Manhattan Strategy), SNAP earnings/eligibility verification (Equifax), and operation of the store tracking & redemption IT system (Ventera). In short, program-integrity, eligibility-data, and benefit-systems services dominate the feed.

USAspending contract feed
What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Food and Nutrition Service awarding sub-agency. It shows where FNS's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) slice from USAspending prime-award data, not FNS's total budget authority, which is overwhelmingly benefit outlays rather than contracts. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Agriculture monitor.
