The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 38 awards (all grant sub-awards under the Food and Nutrition Program for Louisiana Children, issued monthly through the Louisiana Department of Administration as prime grantee). These five customers represent 97% of recent award volume. Top BPA vehicles include a Navy Reserve berthing BPA and an Air Combat Command lodging BPA, each with multiple annual call orders ranging from $89 to $146,316 per call.

The organization performs work directly without documented subcontractors, leveraging its unique position as the sole on-base lodging provider to streamline procurement and ensure consistent service delivery. Grant sub-award work under the Food and Nutrition Program for Louisiana Children flows monthly from the Louisiana Department of Administration as the prime grantee.
