	Coming Program Year 2026! The Texas Automated Nutrition System (TANS) is a web-based system designed to support the administration of federal nutrition programs. TANS allows program sponsors, ESC users, and state users to manage their nutrition program applications, claims, compliance reviews, and more in a robust, streamlined system built using current technology and simple navigation. Beginning with program year 2026, users will transition from TX-UNPS to TANS to manage their program operations. Though TANS will have a fresh look, new navigation, and slight process changes, it will serve the same role as TX-UNPS. TANS will be used for the following federal nutrition programs: • School Nutrition Program (NSLP and SBP) • Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (FFVP) • Special Milk Program (SMP) • Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP and DCH) • Summer Meal Programs (SFSP and SSO) • Food Distribution Program (TEFAP, CSFP, and S/FMNP) TANS Updates December 12, 2024: TANS Talk Session Click here to view the External TANS Talk Session November 7, 2024: TANS Talk Session Click here to view the External TANS Talk Session (Passcode: 9$Sq=$Sd) October 31, 2024: F&N Community Call Update October 30, 2024: F&N Monthly School Call Update September 25, 2024: F&N Monthly School Call Update May 16, 2024: MegaCon System Transition Overview Contact Us Throughout the transition, we want to hear your questions, concerns, or anything else that would improve your awareness and understanding of the transition.
