Essex Valley Schools Inc.

Essex Valley Schools Inc., a New Jersey-based nonprofit school organization, operates as a sub-recipient of federal education and nutrition grants, with no direct federal prime contracts or vehicles. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of sub-grant awards under the School Nutrition Program, channeled through the New Jersey Department of Agriculture as the prime grantee on behalf of the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.

Essex Valley Schools has received six sub-grant awards, all dated October 1, 2023, totaling $271 thousand in combined obligated dollars. All awards fund School Nutrition Program work, reflecting the vendor's primary function as a school district or school-based nutrition services operator receiving pass-through federal nutrition funding from its state education agency intermediary. The vendor has no recorded federal contract prime awards, seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or other government-wide acquisition vehicles, and no documented subcontractor role on federal contract vehicles. Federal engagement is restricted to the grant channel — specifically, the sub-award tier of state-administered nutrition grants.

The source data spans from October 2023 to July 2026 (the reporting date), with no awards recorded after the initial six sub-grants in October 2023. This absence of subsequent awards over the past two years and nine months suggests either completed sub-grant performance with no recompete activity captured in the source, or that Essex Valley Schools does not actively pursue federal opportunities beyond school nutrition funding administered through state intermediaries. Given the tax-exempt nonprofit structure and school-focused mission, the vendor's federal posture is that of a local education recipient within the USDA nutrition-grant ecosystem, not a federal contractor or prime grantee. No set-aside certifications, contract vehicles, teaming arrangements, or documented sub-contract relationships appear in the source.
