Agar Blunt Onida School District

Agar Blunt Onida School District, doing business as Sully Buttes High School - 07, is a U.S. local government entity and public school district located in Onida, South Dakota, that receives federal formula grants and sub-grants for K-12 education programs as a prime recipient (57% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient flowing through the South Dakota Department of Education (43% of recent awards). The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with no competitive bidding posture across set-aside or full-and-open procurement vehicles.

The district's customer footprint concentrates almost entirely within the Department of Education. The top three funding agencies account for 97% of recent awards, led by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (26 awards), followed by the Food and Nutrition Service under the Department of Agriculture (5 awards), and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (3 awards). As a prime recipient, the district has received five annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, each running through the following September 30. As a sub-recipient from the South Dakota Department of Education, the district has drawn funds through multiple federal grant programs including Title I Basic and Allocations, Title IIA REAP Flex, Title IV, IDEA Flowthrough Part B, the National School Lunch Program Block Grant, and School Lunch Program initiatives. Representative sub-awards span October 2023 through July 2026, with the largest cluster arriving in September 2025 (Title I Basic, Title IIA REAP Flex, Title IV, and IDEA Flowthrough Part B all issued on the same date).

Activity in the source data spans from 2007 to the present, with recent momentum showing one award in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, six in 2025, and three in 2026 year to date. Combined dollars obligated across all thirty-five awards total $1.1 million. The district faces minimal recompete exposure — only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district's role is operational delivery of federally funded K-12 education services at the school and district level, not service provision to other federal customers or contractors.
