Procurement review software, built by a former state reviewer. Replace hundreds of thousands in outsourced costs with software your team owns.
MealPro digitizes the USDA-mandated procurement review process end-to-end. Purpose-built for state agency Child Nutrition divisions, not a general K-12 platform with a procurement module bolted on.

Purpose-Built for Procurement Reviews
Not a general K-12 nutrition platform with a procurement module bolted on. Every screen exists because the review process needs it.

Software, Not a Service
State staff use MealPro themselves. Different economics than the outsourced-firm model. You own the workflow.

USDA-Aligned
Mirrors USDA’s own review framework end-to-end, with a credible path to formal “approved alternate tool” recognition.
The math is hard to ignore.
States are either paying outsourced firms or burning out internal staff. There’s a third option.
What states pay today
Outsourced review firms
$4,000–$7,000 per individual review
100–200 reviews per state, per year
$400K – $1.4M
…per state, per year, in outsourced review costs
What MealPro costs
A flat annual subscription
Dramatically less than the outsourced cost
Unlimited users · predictable annual fee
VS
Built by someone who’s done the work.
MealPro's founder spent years performing procurement reviews inside a state Child Nutrition division. She built MealPro because she lived the pain of the manual Excel workflow, and knew exactly what state agency staff needed instead.
