The Lee Hive, Inc.

The Lee Hive, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Evansville, Indiana, operates exclusively as a subrecipient in the federal grant space, with all thirty-six recent awards routed through the Department of Education Indiana as the prime grantee. The vendor holds no prime contracts, no prime grants, and no seats on federal contract vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of grant sub-awards flowing from a single prime grantor over the past five years.

The Lee Hive's customer concentration is absolute. One hundred percent of recent awards derive from the Department of Education Indiana, which serves as the prime grantee for all thirty-six sub-awards in the source data. The source does not specify dollar magnitudes for individual sub-awards, but the combined dollars obligated across all awards total $284 thousand, placing the median sub-award value below $10 thousand. The sub-award descriptions uniformly reference "Grant Allocation to Subrecipient," without elaboration on program type, service scope, or grant CFDA number; the source does not support characterization of the vendor's specific service delivery or program participation.

Activity has accelerated sharply in 2025 and 2026. The vendor received two awards in 2021, three in 2023, and two in 2024; activity jumped to twelve awards in 2025 and twelve awards year-to-date in 2026 (through June 30). The most recent award dates from June 30, 2026, indicating ongoing sub-recipient status through mid-2026. The vendor has no recompete exposure on prime contract vehicles and no visibility into contract-based customer relationships. The source does not identify the specific federal grant programs (or CFDA numbers) under which these allocations flow, the nature of services or goods delivered, or whether The Lee Hive acts as a direct-service subrecipient, a pass-through allocator, or an administrative intermediary. Federal contractors evaluating this vendor for teaming, acquisition, or competitive intelligence will find no pathway to prime contracts, IDIQs, or GWACs in the current award record.
