Hebrew Institute For Deaf & Exceptional Children

Hebrew Institute For Deaf & Exceptional Children is a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Brooklyn, New York that receives federal funding exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal grants, with no prime contract or grant awards in its federal footprint. The organization operates entirely under pass-through funding from the New York State Education Department, which distributes federal grants on behalf of the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (USDA FNS).

All five awards in the vendor's recent federal footprint are sub-awards under the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) Block Consolidated grant program, with award dates of October 1, 2023 (two sub-awards), October 1, 2024 (one sub-award), and October 1, 2025 (two sub-awards). The combined obligated value across all five sub-awards is $159 thousand. The organization serves a single federal customer agency — the USDA Food and Nutrition Service — through its single pass-through grantor, the New York State Education Department. Activity has remained modest and episodic: two sub-awards in 2023, one in 2024, and two in 2025. The organization does not hold seats on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, and has not competed as a prime contractor or prime grant recipient. As a sub-recipient under the Child Nutrition Program, Hebrew Institute For Deaf & Exceptional Children operates in a specialized federal grant category that does not involve procurement competition; funding flows through state education department channels to support nutrition services for exceptional children in the New York region.
