Alpine County Office-Education

Alpine County Office-Education, a U.S. local government entity and county education office based in Markleeville, California, acts as a prime recipient of federal education grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with no federal contracting footprint and minimal grant dollar volume. The organization has received five sequential annual formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education spanning 2022 through 2026, totaling $142 thousand obligated across all awards, and holds one sub-award under the Child Care and Development Fund from the California Department of Social Services.

Alpine County Office-Education's federal funding derives entirely from education and early childhood development grant programs. The organization has been a prime recipient on five iterations of the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant (one award per year from July 2022 through July 2026, each running through the following September 30), with the most recent award issued July 1, 2026 and completion scheduled for September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, Alpine County Office-Education received a Child Care and Development Fund sub-grant dated October 13, 2024 from the California Department of Social Services, which administers the federal CCDF program on behalf of the Administration for Children and Families within the Department of Health and Human Services. The organization serves two distinct federal grantor agencies and has received no federal contracts or seats on federal contract vehicles. Award volume has been consistent — one to two awards annually over the past five years — with minimal dollar exposure (the entire portfolio represents $142 thousand in obligated federal funds). One award (the CCDF sub-grant) completes within the next twenty-four months, carrying minimal recompete risk or opportunity for competitive displacement.
