Emerald Charter Schools

Emerald Charter Schools, doing business as Emerald Charter School, is a non-profit educational organization based in Knoxville, Tennessee that receives federal grant sub-awards for meal reimbursements under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The organization operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants; it holds no prime contracts or prime grant awards and does not compete for federal business directly.

Emerald Charter School's entire federal footprint consists of six sub-awards from the Department of Education Tennessee, the state pass-through entity administering U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service funding. All six awards, dated between September 2025 and August 2026, reimburse the school for meals served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with a combined obligation of $280 thousand across the period. The sub-awards carry standard NSLP and SBP payment mechanics — federal fiscal year 2025 payments (dated September 30, 2025), reimbursement tranches for meals served (January and June 2026), and August 2026 FFATA reporting sub-awards. No contract vehicles, parent IDIQs, or teaming arrangements appear in the source.

Activity is minimal and recent. One award arrived in 2025; five followed in 2026. The organization has not been federally active outside the meal-reimbursement channel. As a non-profit school with tax-exempt status and zero prime federal work, Emerald Charter School operates in the federal space only as a downstream recipient of state-administered nutrition program funds, not as a vendor, contractor, or prime grantee. This profile — a school receiving pass-through nutrition funding from its state education agency — places the organization outside the typical federal contractor or grant-recipient market intelligence framework and does not constitute a federal business development opportunity for federal contractors seeking subcontracting or prime-award partnerships.
