Aberdeen School District 6-1

Aberdeen School District 6-1, operating as O.m. Tiffany Elementary School - 11, is a South Dakota public school district operating as a child entity within Aberdeen Public School District 6-1 that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient, not as a federal contractor. The district's federal footprint consists entirely of education and nutrition formula grants flowing from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and related pass-through allocations from the South Dakota Department of Education and the South Dakota Department of Agriculture.

As a government entity classified under NAICS 611110 (Elementary and Secondary Schools), Aberdeen School District 6-1 operates outside the federal contracting marketplace. The district does not hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. Its federal engagement is limited to grant recipient and sub-recipient status for K–12 education and student nutrition programs.

The district's federal award activity centers on Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) flowing from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district has received five annual prime grants under this program — awards dated July 1 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with ultimate completion dates one year from each award date. These grants are the district's primary federal engagement as a prime recipient. The district also receives sub-awards flowing from the South Dakota Department of Education and the State of South Dakota across Title I Basic Grant Allocation, Title IIA Grant Allocation, Title IV Grant Allocation, IDEA Part B and preschool allocations, Perkins V career and technical education, NSLP block grant nutrition funding, ESSER III pandemic relief, and related formula-grant categories. Sub-awards from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, channeled through state administrative oversight, cover National School Lunch Program (NSLP) block grant operations.

Customer concentration reflects the structure of federal K–12 education funding: 34 awards from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (50% of recent award volume), 13 awards from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, and 8 awards from the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services account for 88% of award count. A single award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Albuquerque Acquisition Office represents 54% of combined potential value, though the district's award portfolio carries combined potential value of only fifteen thousand dollars against obligated amounts of twenty point three million dollars, indicating the potential-value field carries reporting artifacts unrelated to the district's actual grant operations.

Award volume has grown from one award in 2022 to thirteen in 2024 and remained stable at 12 in 2025 and 8 year-to-date in 2026, reflecting the annual cadence of federal formula-grant cycles. Only one award completes in the next twenty-four months, aligning with the standard June 30 fiscal-year completion schedule for federal education grants. The district does not operate as a subcontractor or hold teaming relationships on federal contracts, as its role is limited to K–12 public education service delivery funded through federal education appropriations and nutrition programs.
