About the company
Technology For Rural Enhancement Of Communities (TREC), doing business as Badlands Headstart / TREC, is a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, that operates as a federal grant recipient delivering early childhood education and family support services under the Head Start program. TREC holds no federal contracts and competes exclusively as a grant recipient, with 54% of recent awards held as prime grants and 46% as sub-grants from state pass-through agencies.
TREC's primary mission centers on early childhood development and comprehensive family services in rural South Dakota. The flagship program is the Badlands Head Start, serving children prenatal through five years old with educational instruction, health and nutritional services, behavioral and social-emotional support, and family engagement designed to promote school readiness. Services include both traditional Head Start programming for preschool-age children and Early Head Start services targeting infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. In September 2026, the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded TREC a $2,153,831 five-year project grant under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) running through August 31, 2031, to support the full scope of Badlands Head Start operations in the Belle Fourche service area.
Customer concentration is split between USDA nutrition programs and HHS early childhood funding. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for six awards across TREC's recent portfolio, while the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families carries four awards. TREC also receives sub-grant funding from the South Dakota Department of Education for school lunch programs, including an October 2024 National School Lunch Program block grant sub-award covering October 2024 through September 2025 and multiple school lunch sub-awards from October 2023. Combined obligated dollars across all federal awards total $43 million since 1993, with four distinct federal customer agencies in the active footprint.
TREC's award activity is episodic rather than sustained; the portfolio shows one or two awards annually between 2015 and 2024, with a concentration of five awards in 2023 driven by the multi-year Head Start grant cycle. The vendor operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem, serving a single rural service area and relying on USDA nutrition funding and HHS early childhood support to sustain operations. TREC holds no federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, and does not compete on contract vehicles or team with prime contractors on contract work.
