Overview
CNT Mission Statement:To provide eligible participants with access to nutritious meals and snacks through leadership, direction and oversight for program growth and improvements for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Community Nutrition Programs in Wisconsin.
Unique Entity ID (SAM)
All agencies that receive funds from the Federal government are required to have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). This includes agencies that receive reimbursement for the USDA Child Nutrition Programs.
The UEI is assigned through the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov. Detailed instructions on obtaining a UEI are located on the Unique Entity ID (SAM) Transition webpage and on this handout.
The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) must verify each agency participating in the USDA Child Nutrition Programs has a UEI. The UEI is reported to the DPI using Online Services.
Refer to the Instructions for reporting the UEI to the DPI for the USDA Child Nutrition Programs. This will only need to be entered once, even if your agency participates in multiple Child Nutrition Programs.
