The Community Psychiatric Institute

The Community Psychiatric Institute, a New Jersey-based nonprofit, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, receiving all fourteen of its recent federal awards as a subawardee rather than as a prime recipient or contractor. The organization serves a single customer agency — the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service — through the CARES FOOD grant program administered by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture as prime grantee.

The Community Psychiatric Institute's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. All fourteen awards on record are CARES FOOD subawards flowing from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture as the prime grant recipient. The organization received ten subawards in 2023 (October 1, 2023) and four subawards in 2024 (October 1, 2024), with a combined $1.3 million in obligated dollars across the portfolio. The annual cadence and timing suggest recurring, annual subawardee allocations under a single federal grant vehicle rather than project-based work. No information in the source specifies the concrete scope of the CARES FOOD work — whether the organization provides food distribution, nutrition services, counseling, or other direct services — only that it operates as a subawardee under the federal nutrition program.

Activity has declined from 2023 to 2024: ten awards in the first year observed to four in the most recent cycle. The organization holds no federal contracts, seats on no GWACs or other acquisition vehicles, and operates no IDIQs or BPAs. As a nonprofit with zero prime federal award activity and one hundred percent subaward dependency on a single grantor agency, The Community Psychiatric Institute presents limited relevance as a competitive threat or teaming partner for federal contractors. The vendor's federal footprint is confined to USDA Food and Nutrition Service grant pass-through work within New Jersey.
