Valuing families is at the heart
of what we do.
TCG’s goal is to improve the world around us, in big ways and small, every day. We understand the value of families and the important role they play in the lives of children and the community. We also understand the power of government to improve the lives of those they govern. And we know we can help by providing the IT support you need to achieve your mission.

Enabling better child nutrition through data U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (USDA FNS)
School systems across the country rely on the Child Nutrition Database (CNDB) to ensure the meals they serve to America’s children meet the USDA’s nutritional guidelines. Unfortunately, the database’s infrastructure aged, and the CNDB could not be refreshed and reissued. TCG fixed it, fast. In our first year, we made data submission easier, modernized the infrastructure, and made CNDB more robust and secure. We cleaned the aging database and helped food data suppliers refresh the nutritional data, making the CNDB timely once more. Now, in our second contract year, we are freeing up funds by decommissioning unneeded hardware, and we are adding even more nutritional data and making it easier to add data to the system. Because of our work — because we helped to improve the world in these small, technical ways, America’s children benefit from better nutrition, every day. That’s important for their health, their educational success, their families, and their communities.
