Allen Bowden School

Allen Bowden School Division, doing business as Allen-Bowden Public School, is a U.S. state government educational institution based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with supplemental funding routed through the Oklahoma State Department of Education. The institution does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the federal grant space; it is not an SBA-certified small business and does not compete under set-aside categories.

Allen Bowden School's federal footprint is narrow and stable. All 41 prime grants (93% of total awards) flow from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under two recurring formula-grant programs: Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs and the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. Both programs issue annual awards on a fixed schedule beginning July 1 each fiscal year. Representative recent work includes Indian Education Formula Grants awards dated July 1, 2026 (ultimate completion June 30, 2027) and July 1, 2025 (ultimate completion June 30, 2026), and Small, Rural School Achievement Program awards dated July 1, 2026 (ultimate completion September 30, 2027) and July 1, 2025 (ultimate completion September 30, 2026). In the sub-recipient capacity (9% of awards), the school receives pass-through funding from the Oklahoma State Department of Education for child nutrition reimbursement and Title IV, Part A student support initiatives, with sub-awards dated as recently as May 2026.

The institution has no competitive pressure and faces no recompete cliff. Award activity has remained flat over the past five years (two to four awards annually), with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $1.4 million. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 100% of funding volume; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and the broader Department of Education contribute minimal additional awards. Because Allen Bowden School is a formula-grant recipient rather than a contractor or vendor competing for work, it carries no parent vehicles, teaming relationships, or subcontractor engagement outside the state pass-through structure. Federal participation is limited to receipt of annually recurring education-support grants for which the institution qualifies by statute as a rural public school district serving Native American students.
