Transition: TX-UNPS to USDA's WBSCM System for USDA Foods

You are a pilot Recipient Agency (RA)!!!!!

Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) currently utilizes a state system Texas Unified Nutrition Program System (TX-UNPS) to manage USDA Foods for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). TDA is transitioning many Food Distribution functions from TX-UNPS to USDA's Web Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) system. TX-UNPS works in conjunction with WBSCM to manage USDA food orders in Texas which causes duplicative effort for tracking and management by TDA staff and Recipient Agencies (RA). WBSCM allows functionality to enter and track acquisitions and distributions for USDA Foods in an integrated, internet-based application.
