This would likely fall under the food transportation expense category, depending on how the truck is being used.
Yes, that is an optional expense. You would have to decide whether that’s a contract or subrecipient relationship (pages 5 – 7 of the RFP) and indicate that in your budget accordingly. Those expenses would be factored into the 15% cap for the supporting expense category.

Funding can be available to either the lead applicant or for other individuals that are doing work. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a subrecipient; that designation is entirely based on the nature of the relationship, the duties involved, and whether you’re buying a specific good or service from them or whether you are delegating a piece of the project management to them. We suggest reviewing the RFP examples (pages 5 – 6) and the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.331) which is the ultimate source for indicating how a subrecipient relationship is determined. It’s highly variable and dependent on the situation.

Yes, funding can be used for expenses such as food transportation, food storage, and other supporting expenses.
Some examples of supporting expenses include staff time for grant reporting, meeting with farmers, or renting event space to host a meeting for the project. More information can be found on pages seven and eight of the RFP.

Food storage does not necessarily have to be at a commercial facility, but if you are procuring services from someone who isn’t generally in the business of offering those services, then you need to be prepared to demonstrate how those costs are reasonable, and potentially have done some research on average price points and how that compares.
Application review and scoring
No, that’s not factored into scoring. However, that work and other project work has to be updating or expanding work. It can’t be a continuation or duplication of work that is already being done.
