THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
On March 24, 2026 the EDA discussed applying for a VDACS AFID grant on behalf of Twin Oaks Farm, which is creating a farm store for its beef. The grant would be a 50/50 match, with the EDA considering $5,000 toward a $10,000 grant to fund items like a back-up generator and walk-in freezer. This is a targeted, grant-funded equipment and fit-out project where vendors of cold storage, power systems, and grant administration can assist the farm and county.
VDACS will oversee the project and the county would be the grant applicant for the farm under the AFID program.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
