Programs - Child Nutrition
To use the NOI program, SFAs must set up a user account online with either Processor Link or K12 Food Services. Once an account is set up, SFAs can track orders, allotment balances, and verify sales of purchases.

Why Should My District Participate in the NOI Program?
The NOI program allows districts to:
- Purchase weekly instead of one big monthly delivery
- Purchase products in months commodities are not available
- Ensure that PAL is utilized
- Consistently have product when commodity dollars run out
- Have a wider selection of products
- Pick a distributor of your choice
The NOI program does not penalize districts for using or not using NOI products.
