Alpaugh Unified School District

Alpaugh Unified School District, operating as Alpaugh Junior-Senior High School, is a California-based public school district that receives federal formula grants and sub-grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient, operating exclusively within the K–12 education sector with no prime federal contracting activity. The district is a U.S. local government entity and school district headquartered in Alpaugh, California.

The district's federal footprint centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA not specified in source), a formula grant administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Alpaugh has received five consecutive annual prime awards under this program (July 2022 through July 2026), with the most recent award covering the performance period July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Beyond the SRSA program, the district acts as a sub-recipient on a portfolio of federal education and nutrition sub-grants flowing through the California Department of Education and, in one case, through Save The Children Federation, Inc. Sub-award descriptions span English Language Acquisition programs (supporting limited English proficient students), Title I supplemental education programs for high-poverty schools, National School Lunch Program funding, Child Care and Development Block Grant allocations, and pandemic relief funds (COVID-19 response sub-awards from 2022). A single sub-award from Save The Children, Inc. (dated September 9, 2025) represents a congressionally directed spending earmark from Senator Dianne Feinstein for core and nutrition programming in California.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education represents 26 of 34 total awards (76% of the portfolio), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (3 awards), the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management (1 award), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (1 award), and the Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition (1 award) comprising the remainder — 94% coverage across five agencies. The combined dollars obligated across all awards is $2.6 million. Prime awards account for 56% of the portfolio (19 of 34), with sub-awards representing 44% (15 of 34). Award frequency has accelerated recently — eight awards placed in 2026 (through late August) against two to three awards per year in 2023–2025. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represents immediate recompete exposure.
