Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) Act of 2025

This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act to allow federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations to directly manage the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) through self-determination contracts or self-governance agreements. It requires tribes to purchase domestically produced food that maintains similar nutritional value and package size to current FDPIR offerings, while respecting foods of Tribal significance. The Secretary must consult tribes on participation processes and submit annual reports to Congress on program activities. The bill also terminates a prior demonstration program and ensures tribal agreements follow the Indian Self-Determination Act’s rules, with interpretations favoring tribal interests. This directly affects tribal communities managing their own food distribution systems on reservations.
