Reitz Memorial High School

Reitz Memorial High School, a tax-exempt educational institution in Evansville, Indiana, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, receiving allocations from the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service through state-level pass-through grantees. The institution holds no federal contracts, has never served as a prime contractor or prime grant recipient, and does not compete for procurement opportunities — all 21 awards in the recent footprint are grant allocations routed through intermediary grantees.

The school's federal funding derives entirely from nutrition and food-assistance programs administered through the Department of Agriculture. All 19 primary-category awards and 2 secondary awards flow through Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service programs, with allocations distributed monthly or quarterly as grant sub-awards under the pass-through grant structure common to K-12 institutions participating in federal nutrition initiatives such as the National School Lunch Program or related child nutrition funding streams. The school has received allocations every year since at least 2021, with frequency and volume increasing in recent cycles — one award in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, four in 2025, and six so far in 2026. The combined obligated dollars across all 21 awards total $1.2 million.

This award pattern reflects the operational posture of a secondary school participating in federally subsidized nutrition and child welfare programs rather than a vendor competing for federal services or supplies. Reitz Memorial High School is not a federal contractor, does not hold IDIQs or task-order vehicles, does not pursue procurement opportunities, and does not engage in sub-contracting relationships with federal prime contractors. The institution's federal funding footprint is confined to mandatory pass-through nutrition allocations distributed by state education agencies or regional nutrition coordinators on behalf of the Department of Agriculture.
