Jacksonville Classical Academy East Inc.

Jacksonville Classical Academy East Inc. The Optima Foundation Division, a nonprofit educational organization based in Jacksonville, Florida, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal nutrition grants and does not hold prime federal contracts or grants. The vendor receives all of its federal funding through the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service via the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), administered at the state level through the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services.

The organization's federal footprint consists entirely of sub-award activity — seven NSLP sub-awards flowing through the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services as the prime recipient. Awards dated between January 29, 2024 and July 23, 2024 total $542 thousand in combined obligations. The concentration is absolute: 100% of awards originate from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, with no diversification across agencies or grant programs. No IDIQs, GWACs, or other parent contracting vehicles are present; funding flows directly through state-level NSLP administration. The organization operates with a single customer (USDA-FNS) and a single grantor program (NSLP), which substantially limits its pipeline visibility outside nutrition-assistance recompete cycles.

Activity was limited to the 2024 calendar year within the source data window, with seven awards issued across six months (January through July). No awards appear beyond July 2024 in the source, and the most recent award timestamp is now eighteen months in the past, indicating either a data-currency lag or a pause in sub-award flow. With all seven awards tied to NSLP sub-recipient status and no prime award footprint, Jacksonville Classical Academy East Inc. The Optima Foundation Division does not operate as a federal contracting vendor in the traditional sense — it functions as a school nutrition program recipient receiving pass-through federal food-assistance funding. Federal contractor business development professionals would identify no contracting vehicles, set-aside posture, or teaming relevance to this entity; it remains outside the prime and sub-prime contracting ecosystem and operates solely within the federal grant and nutrition-assistance space.
