School District Of Arapahoe

School District Of Arapahoe, a U.S. government entity located in Arapahoe, Nebraska, is a public school district acting as a federal grant recipient (38% of recent awards) and sub-recipient (62%) under education and nutrition programs administered by the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture. The district holds no federal contracts and does not compete in competitive procurement; all federal activity flows through formula grant allocations and pass-through funding from the Nebraska Department of Education.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within education and child nutrition assistance. As a prime grant recipient, Arapahoe School District receives annual allocations under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 in each fiscal year from 2022 through 2026, running through September 30 of the following year. The district's substantially larger activity, however, consists of sub-grants received from the Nebraska Department of Education, which serves as the direct prime grantee and disburses funds downstream to local education agencies. Since 2024, the district has received twenty-nine sub-grant awards covering Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies, Title I Part A Basic Grants, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funding, Child Nutrition Program funding, and school mental health initiatives. Sub-awards are monthly or scheduled throughout each fiscal year, with the most recent sub-award dated August 29, 2026, reflecting ongoing pass-through distributions for Title I programming. The district also receives periodic allocations coded as "BLOCK" funding, which typically represents consolidated state education assistance.

Activity has accelerated in the past two years. The district recorded one award each in 2022 and 2023, then seventeen awards in 2024, eleven in 2025, and six in 2026 to date—the increase driven primarily by the monthly and fiscal-period cadence of Nebraska Department of Education sub-grants rather than by expansion of prime direct awards. Combined dollars obligated across all fifty awards total $1.2 million. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only one award is scheduled for ultimate completion inside that window. Customer concentration sits entirely with the Department of Education (27 awards from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and one from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services) and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (22 awards), though dollar magnitude and program structure are not itemized in the source. The district operates no teaming arrangements, holds no seats on government-wide vehicles, and does not function as a prime contractor or subcontractor in the federal contracting marketplace.
