About the company
Operation Spark, a non-profit organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs supporting workforce development and economic mobility for underserved populations. The organization has no federal contract work; all three recent awards are grant sub-awards funded through the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.
Operation Spark's grant footprint centers on youth career readiness and SNAP employment support. The organization received two sub-awards from Youthforce Nola (Department of Labor grantee) dated February 24, 2025 and October 15, 2025, supporting New Orleans public school students and young adults in career readiness development through pre-apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship Programs. A third sub-award from the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (Department of Agriculture grantee), dated October 1, 2023, targets SNAP participants, providing skills training and employment experience to improve job prospects and reduce SNAP reliance. Combined obligation across the three awards totals $1.4 million, with two distinct federal funding agencies represented.
Activity is minimal and recent. The organization earned one award in 2023 and two in 2025, with a nine-month gap between the most recent sub-award (October 15, 2025) and the present. Service Contract Inventory records show 3 SCI entries spanning FY2022–FY2024, all as named subcontractor (zero as prime), with FTE trajectory of 1.4 FTEs in FY2022 declining to 1.2 FTEs in FY2024 on SCI-reportable federal service work — a snapshot that excludes grant delivery, goods, and any non-federal revenue. Operation Spark operates entirely through grant sub-recipients relationships rather than as an independent prime or contractor, positioning the organization as a service delivery partner for workforce and nutrition-assistance grant programs rather than a federal procurement vendor.
