ST Mary School System

ST Mary School System is a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Paducah, Kentucky that operates as a grant sub-recipient only, with no prime contracting or grant-recipient activity; the organization has received six federal grant sub-awards totaling $750 thousand, all awarded on the same date in October 2024 for school security infrastructure improvements.

The vendor's entire federal footprint consists of sub-recipient grants funding physical security enhancements across two Catholic school facilities: St. Mary Catholic Elementary School and St. Mary Catholic Middle and High School. All six sub-awards, issued in October 2024, support the purchase and installation of access control systems, lighting, and intercom systems designed to enhance campus security. The awards carry a combined obligation of $750 thousand and appear to flow through a single federal grant program, though the source does not identify the grantor agency or the parent grant vehicle by name or CFDA number.

The organization operates exclusively as a sub-recipient rather than as a prime grantee or federal contractor, meaning it receives grant funds through an intermediary recipient organization rather than directly from a federal agency. With all six awards clustered on a single award date and no activity in the source data before or after October 2024, ST Mary School System presents no recompete cliff, vehicle positioning, or multi-year activity trajectory. The school system does not hold seat on any federal IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide contract vehicles, and does not compete for federal work as a prime contractor. This profile is consistent with a K-12 educational institution pursuing federal security-grant funding rather than a federal services vendor.
