Congregation Tiferes Chaya A NJ Nonprofit Corporation

Congregation Tiferes Chaya A NJ Nonprofit Corporation, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization and minority institution headquartered in Lakewood, New Jersey, serves as a sub-recipient on federal grant awards for school nutrition programs with no prime contracting footprint. The organization operates exclusively as a sub-grantee, receiving 100% of its recent federal funding through pass-through awards from state and local prime grantees rather than as a direct federal prime recipient or contractor.

The organization's entire federal grant footprint flows through the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service via the New Jersey Department of Agriculture as prime grantee. Congregation Tiferes Chaya has received fifteen sub-awards for school nutrition program implementation, all dated either October 1, 2023 or October 1, 2024, with a combined obligation of $2.6 million across the two fiscal years. The organization holds a single customer relationship — the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service — representing 100% of recent awards. Activity declined from ten awards in fiscal 2023 to five awards in fiscal 2024.

As a sub-recipient rather than a prime grantee, Congregation Tiferes Chaya operates within the Food and Nutrition Service grant infrastructure without direct federal contracting authority or seat on government-wide acquisition vehicles. The organization's role is limited to executing school nutrition programming at the sub-recipient level, with no independent federal prime contracts, IDIQs, or BPAs in the source data. The recurring annual sub-award pattern on the same October dates in 2023 and 2024 indicates predictable, institutionalized funding tied to the federal school nutrition calendar rather than competitive procurement.
