(单独)收费计划/方案
Explanation:
pricing一般确实译为“定价”。不过这里的意思似乎指收费(与不收费相对应)。

在google里查了一下"Military Housing Privatization Initiative" "pricing programs"

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&num=100&newwindow=1&q="Military...

注意到pricing program是和non-pricing program 相对应的。

以上搜索结果中有一个doc文件对此进行了比较清楚的描述:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=10&url=http://www.s...

摘引一下这个doc文件中的相关内容:

4213 Pricing and Non-pricing Programs

If a contractor charges participants separately for their meals, then the contractor operates a pricing program. If a contractor has a general tuition fee that includes the cost of the participant's meals, then the contractor operates a non-pricing program.

4213.1 Pricing Programs

If a participant qualifies for free meals, then a facility cannot charge the participant for the meals that it serves. If a participant qualifies for reduced-price meals, then a center may charge an amount for the meals that it serves to the participant as long as the charge does not exceed the limit established by USDA each year. FND will notify all contractors of this limit each year.

A contractor cannot use CACFP reimbursement or the charges for reduced-price meals to subsidize the cost of meals that are served to non-program participants and program participants in the paid category.

NOTE: A contractor must not overtly identify participants who receive free or reduced-price meals.

4213.2 Non-Pricing Programs

If a center operates a non-pricing food program, it cannot separately charge participants for the meals that they are served, regardless of their eligibility for free, reduced-price, or paid meals.

由此可见“Pricing Programs”是一种单独收费的用餐计划(或方案),而non-pricing program是一种不单独收费的用餐计划/方案。

此外,还有免费和减价方案:free meals/reduced-price meals计划。

综合考虑到这些关系
pricing program
non-pricing program
free meals
reduced-price meals

program:这里译为“方案”合适些,不过我觉得译为“计划”也可以接受。

因此,我觉得可以把pricing program译为“单独收费计划/方案”或“收费计划/方案”。如果要简单点,就是“收费计划/方案”。

仅供参考。
