Efforts are in full swing towards a transition to the Texas Automated Nutrition (TANS). We want to ensure a smooth implementation process full of training resources that will make the launch successful. Until we launch TANS, TX-UNPS will continue providing online interfaces for managing your programs.

All users can begin preparing for their organization’s transition to TANS by carefully reviewing the resources below.

Preparing for the Transition

The TANS rollout will begin with our Food Distribution Programs (TEFAP, CSFP, FMNP, and SFMNP) in calendar year 2025. This initial rollout provides an opportunity to gain valuable insights into how to further improve the rollout experience prior to introducing SNP, CACFP, and Summer Program (SFSP, SSO) users to TANS. These programs are set to roll out in TANS in calendar year 2026.

To continue preparing for the transition, all system users can begin to think through when they will begin using TANS, what the transition may look like for their organization, and what they can do to prepare before even gaining access to TANS.

As questions come up, we encourage all users to share that feedback here. Our team will review and address in future TANS Talks and resources.

Assistance available in English and Spanish. Please call 877-TEX-MEAL (877-839-6325) for help. Additional translations services available as well.
