Solicitation of Input from Stakeholder on Title II Food for Peace Non-Emergency Programming

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service is seeking input from stakeholders to shape its future non-emergency Title II Food for Peace programming under solicitation number USDA-2026-001. This request for information invites detailed feedback across five key areas: designing and implementing resilience-focused programs, identifying commodity needs and logistical constraints, integrating nutrition outcomes, improving general program execution, and offering any additional insights that could enhance effectiveness. The goal is to gather robust data, research, and practical suggestions to inform innovative, evidence-based programming that builds long-term food security and resilience in partner countries without responding to acute emergencies. Responses are expected to be comprehensive and grounded in real-world experience to support strategic decision-making. The solicitation was posted on July 6, 2026, with a response deadline of July 24, 2026, and is open to all interested parties including NGOs, academic institutions, government agencies, and private sector entities with relevant expertise. The point of contact for inquiries is Kendra Arrington, Grantor at the Office of Global Programs, reachable via email at foodforpeace@usda.gov or phone at 202-690-5503. While no set-aside provisions or NAICS codes are specified, this solicitation is categorized as a federal action aimed at gathering stakeholder perspectives rather than issuing a contract or grant at this stage. All feedback received will directly inform the planning and design of future international food assistance initiatives under the Food for Peace program.
