Mount Carmel Day Care Center

Mount Carmel Day Care Center, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Mt. Carmel, Tennessee, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering child nutrition services under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's child care and nutrition programs. The vendor has no prime federal contracting footprint and does not sit on federal contract vehicles; all sixteen awards in the recent source data are monthly sub-grant allocations flowing from the Tennessee Department of Human Services as the prime recipient-grantee.

Mount Carmel's federal grant work consists entirely of monthly reimbursement awards under two USDA Food and Nutrition Service programs: the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Child Nutrition Block Grants (CN Block Meals Reimbursement). The vendor received eight sub-awards under CACFP CIL (Child and Adult Care Food Program - Center In-Home and Licensed) and eight under CN Block Meals Reimbursement between October 2025 and May 2026, with award dates typically issued at month-end for the prior month's service delivery. Combined obligations across all sixteen awards total twelve thousand dollars, indicating monthly reimbursement in the range of seven hundred fifty dollars per month on average. These are pass-through sub-awards from Tennessee Department of Human Services administering federal nutrition funds to eligible child care providers rather than competitive federal procurements.

Customer concentration is complete and singular: all sixteen awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service operating through the state grantee. Activity has grown from six sub-awards in 2025 to ten in the first five months of 2026. The vendor's role is entirely operational — providing federally subsidized meals to children enrolled in its day care facility — rather than consulting, systems integration, or managed services. This is a direct-service, facility-based model typical of small nonprofit or proprietor-operated child care centers participating in the federal child nutrition safety-net programs. No teaming relationships, prime contracts, or contract vehicles apply to Mount Carmel's federal footprint.
