D.n. Ray Inc.

D.n. Ray Inc., operating as Ray's Child Care And Learning Center, is a woman-owned small business and minority-owned (Asian-Pacific American) for-profit Subchapter S corporation that participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) as a sub-recipient of federal grants through Alaska's Department of Education and Early Development. The vendor operates exclusively in a sub-recipient role and has not held prime contracts or prime grant awards.

D.n. Ray Inc. operates a single-location child care and learning center participating in the CACFP, which reimburses eligible child care providers for meals and snacks served to enrolled children. The vendor's entire federal footprint consists of twenty-three sub-awards from the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (the state-level prime grantee funneling USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program funding), issued between August 2023 and November 2024. These sub-awards fall into two categories: meal reimbursements and cash-in-lieu payments, with awards issued on a recurring, roughly bimonthly cadence. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $48 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of individual CACFP participating providers.

The vendor's customer concentration is absolute — all twenty-three awards derive from a single federal grantor, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, flowing through the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development. The vendor has served no other federal agencies and holds no federal contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or task-order-based relationships. Federal grant exposure is narrowly scoped to CACFP participation in Alaska, with no evidence of multi-state operations, contract prime work, or diversified federal revenue streams.
