A Kid's Life Child Development Center LLC

A Kid's Life Child Development Center LLC, an American Indian-owned for-profit child development center based in Shawnee, Oklahoma, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal child nutrition grants issued by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service through the State Department of Education. The vendor does not hold prime contracts or federal contract vehicles; all four recent awards are sub-grant reimbursements for providing nutritionally adequate meals to children in institutional settings.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and recent. All four awards flow through the same funding pathway — the USDA Food and Nutrition Service channeled via the State Department of Education — and carry identical program objectives: reimbursement for meals provided to children to safeguard their health and well-being. Sub-awards were issued on October 10, 2025, April 10, 2026, May 8, 2026, and June 12, 2026, with a combined obligation of $168 thousand across the period. Activity is modest but trending upward: one award in 2025, three in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor has no documented prime contractor or prime recipient experience and no presence on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or other vehicles. The sub-recipient relationship is with the State Department of Education as the direct pass-through grantee, with ultimate federal funding authority residing in USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, a civilian agency focused on child nutrition programs. This positioning makes the vendor a niche player in federal child nutrition reimbursement rather than a competitive threat or teaming candidate for federal contractors in other domains.
