Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Department of Education BNHS is seeking competitive bids from qualified vendors to design, create and test a spreadsheet program that Child Nutrition Program operators use to determine if participants are eligible for free or reduced price meals. The determination of eligibility is based on income amount and family size. Income amounts may be entered weekly, bi-weekly, twice a month, monthly, and annually. Applications within a certain dollar amount of each frequency need to be identified as error prone. This application should also include a feature for schools to determine the number of households to include in the verification process. This tool will be updated annually and should be built to allow for income eligibility guidelines and other validations to be updated annually by Department program staff. This new tool will replace a current spreadsheet. This new tool must have the same or similar look and functionality as the current web-based version.
