S 3236 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Increasing Tribal Input on Nutrition Act of 2025

This bill requires the USDA to consult with Tribal organizations before evaluating contracts for food programs serving Native communities, including the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). It defines "supply chain disruptions" broadly to include shortages affecting food distribution, mandating the Secretary to designate emergency warehouse contractors within 45 days and potentially provide direct payments to Tribes for purchasing domestically produced food meeting specific nutritional standards. Tribes can use these payments to replace existing food packages with equivalent or higher-nutrition alternatives, without exceeding normal program funding levels. The bill also adds annual consultation requirements with Tribes for CSFP operations and clarifies notification procedures for disruptions.
