Kickapoo Community Childcare Center

Kickapoo Community Childcare Center, a federally recognized Indian tribe operating a tribal childcare facility in McLoud, Oklahoma, receives federal reimbursement funding as a sub-recipient of child nutrition grants issued through the State Department of Education, channeling Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service funding to support meal programs for enrolled children.

The vendor operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal child nutrition grants rather than as a direct federal prime recipient or contractor. All five recent awards in the source, totaling $218 thousand in combined obligations, flow from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service through the State Department of Education as the prime grantor entity. The awards fund the provision of nutritionally adequate meals to children enrolled in the center's childcare programs, with sub-awards dated October 2025, April 2026 (two awards), May 2026, and June 2026. Activity has increased from one award in 2025 to four in 2026, indicating recent expansion of the center's federal nutrition reimbursement participation. The vendor serves a single customer agency — the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service — through the state pass-through mechanism. No contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or direct federal procurement relationships appear in the source. The center's federal footprint is narrowly focused on child nutrition meal reimbursement rather than childcare services procurement or other federal program areas, and no recompete cliff or vehicle-based teaming opportunities are present in the award history.
