Barrett Regina

Barrett Regina, operating as Little House Child Care Center, is a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Kingsport, Tennessee that receives federal grant sub-awards for child nutrition reimbursement programs as a sub-recipient under Tennessee Department of Human Services administration. The vendor has no federal contract footprint and operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs, with no prime contract or IDV vehicles in its portfolio.

Little House Child Care Center's federal engagement is narrowly concentrated in nutrition support for child care. The vendor received 16 sub-award payments between October 2025 and May 2026 under two recurring federal programs: the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP CIL) and CN Block Meals Reimbursement. All awards flow through the Tennessee Department of Human Services as the prime grantee, with funding originating from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service — representing 100% of the vendor's recent federal activity. The combined dollars obligated across these 16 awards total $9 thousand, reflecting the reimbursement structure of these nutrition programs rather than procurement contracts.

Activity has grown from six awards in 2025 to ten awards in 2026, reflecting monthly reimbursement cycles typical of CACFP and CN Block administration. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of pass-through sub-awards for meal reimbursement and child nutrition program eligibility documentation — work that sits outside the traditional federal prime contracting or full-and-open competitive space. As a woman-owned sole proprietorship with no IDV seats, no prime contract authority, and a single-agency customer concentration (USDA FNS through Tennessee intermediation), Barrett Regina operates in a federal nutrition-support niche with no relevance to broader federal contract vehicles, teaming arrangements, or competitive procurement dynamics.
