Child Development Center, Ponca City, Oklahoma, Inc.

Child Development Center, Ponca City, Oklahoma, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Ponca City, Oklahoma, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal child nutrition grants issued through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The organization does not hold prime contracts or grants; all five recent federal awards are sub-awards flowing from the State Department of Education as the prime grantee.

The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of reimbursement funding for child meal programs. All five sub-awards, dated between October 2025 and June 2026, support the provision of nutritionally adequate meals to children in the organization's care, with combined dollars obligated totaling $210 thousand across the five awards. Each sub-award carries identical scope language from the federal grant description: "To provide reimbursement to institutions that make available to children nutritionally adequate meals so that the health and well-being of the children served will be safeguarded." The prime grantor on all awards is the State Department of Education, which distributes federal child nutrition program funds to local child development centers.

Activity accelerated from one award in 2025 to four awards in 2026, reflecting increased enrollment or expanded meal service delivery. The vendor has no exposure to federal contracts, no seats on federal vehicles, and no subcontractor relationships with federal contractors. Customer concentration is absolute — 100% of recent awards flow from a single federal agency, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, via the state education department as the administrative pass-through. This profile is characteristic of local child care providers that participate in federal meal assistance programs rather than federal service contractors or management vendors.
