The list of applicants that were selected to receive the FY 2019 National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Equipment Assistance Grant for School Food Authorities (SFAs) can be found in the link below.
FY 2019 Equipment Grant Awards (EXCEL) (PDF)
The New York State Education Department (SED) received 388 applications for equipment requests which totaled approximately $3.4 million. SED was able to fund a total of 167 equipment grant awards to 119 Recipient Agencies (RA) in 72 School Food Authorities (SFA), totaling $ $1,692,719.00.
SFAs that have been awarded the FY 2019 Food Service Equipment Grant will receive a notice from the SED Grants Finance Department that stipulates the specific equipment requests that will be funded. The SFA will not receive additional funding if the item(s) cost more than the amount awarded.
Use the attached chart in conjunction with the approved FS-10 to ensure the equipment purchases are allowable. If the equipment is obtained for less than requested and approved on the FS-10, the school cannot retain the funds or use them for another purpose. SFAs may not utilize unspent funds from one piece of awarded equipment to cover the cost of another piece of awarded equipment. SED will validate equipment purchases during monitoring visits and on-site reviews. Payments will be made on a reimbursement basis and requests for reimbursement should be submitted to the SED Child Nutrition Program Office as soon as possible after equipment is purchased. To receive reimbursement, SFAs will be required to submit an FS-10F budget form and include paid purchase invoices/receipts and the serial number of each piece of awarded/purchased equipment.
SFAs that did not receive an equipment grant award and are interested in receiving a debriefing letter on the selection process regarding this RFP must submit a written request within fifteen (15) calendar days of this letter to Colleen Hasselbach at foodequip@nysed.gov or by mail at:
