Marbley Learning Center Inc.

Marbley Learning Center Inc., a Black American-owned, minority-owned non-profit educational institution based in St. Rose, Louisiana, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal food-and-nutrition grants administered through the Louisiana Department of Administration, with no prime contract or grant awards in its recent footprint.

The vendor's entire federal award portfolio consists of twenty-four sub-awards flowing from a single grantor agency—the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service—channeled through the Louisiana Department of Administration as the prime grantee. All work centers on the Food and Nutrition Program for Louisiana Children. The awards span from November 2023 through October 2025, with activity increasing from one award in 2023 to fourteen in 2024 and nine through October 2025. The combined dollars obligated across all twenty-four sub-awards total $74 thousand, reflecting monthly or periodic sub-award tranches rather than large individual grants.

As a non-profit educational institution, Marbley Learning Center operates within the federal grant ecosystem as a subordinate recipient rather than as a direct contractor or prime grantee. The organization does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or agency IDIQs, and the source records no contract prime awardees. The tight coupling to the Louisiana Department of Administration's food-and-nutrition pass-through and the sub-recipient-only posture indicate the organization functions primarily as a local program implementer for USDA nutrition initiatives targeting Louisiana children. The recurring monthly sub-award structure and modest combined dollar value suggest transactional, program-execution work rather than strategic service-delivery contracts. Marbley Learning Center has no documented exposure to other federal agencies, contract vehicles, or customer diversity beyond the single Food and Nutrition Service relationship.
