Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program Application Window Closing Today (5/11)

Meat and poultry processing applicants,

The Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program (MPPEP) application period closes today (May 11, 2022) at 11:59 pm ET. As a reminder, all MPPEP applications should be filed through grants.gov; however, if you are continuing to have difficulties with acquiring your Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, please check the “To Apply” tab on the MPPEP program website and follow the alternative MPPEP application submission instructions.

When you successfully submit an MPPEP application, you will receive a notification no later than May 17, 2022, confirming receipt of your application. If you have not received this confirmation, please contact MPPEP@usda.gov or call Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBCS) Deputy Administrator Mark Brodziski at (202) 205-0903.

Thank you and we look forward to reviewing all MPPEP submissions.
