Twenty awards is a concentrated nutrition-formula book: NSLP often posts as a small number of large instruments to a state agency that then reimburses school food authorities. The join does not name DPI, list districts, or count meals. Packet facts stop at $3,279,474,150.85, 20 awards, NC, and 10.555. North Carolina SNAP (10.551) is a different nutrition catalog.

10.555 is not SNAP or school breakfast as a roll-up

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.551) and the School Breakfast Program are different USDA catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $3,279,474,150.85 would invent a broader nutrition total than this cell contains. Facts available: North Carolina, CFDA 10.555, $3,279,474,150.85, 20 awards. Meal counts and free/reduced-price flags are not in the facts.

The catalog title names National School Lunch Program, not a ranking of district need. Dividing $3,279,474,150.85 by 20 yields about $163.97 million per award—a statewide pass-through scale, not a typical cafeteria reimbursement. Unique recipients are unpublished. 20 is not a count of schools.
