Aspermont ISD

Aspermont ISD, a Texas local government school district based in Aspermont, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on K–12 education programs, competing exclusively under open federal grant mechanisms rather than federal contracts. The district serves as both a direct recipient of formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and a sub-recipient of Title I supplemental funding and school improvement grants flowing through the Texas Education Agency.

Aspermont ISD's federal footprint is narrow and stable. All 36 awards in the source data derive from a single customer — the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — representing 97% of awarded activity. The district splits its federal engagement between 20 prime grant awards (56%) and 16 sub-awards (44%). Prime activity centers on annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants awarded each July through September 2027, a recurring cycle since at least 2022. The most recent prime award arrived July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion scheduled for September 30, 2027. Sub-award activity flows through the Texas Education Agency as the prime grantee, funding Title I, Part A supplemental resources for low-income student populations and Title I, 1003 school improvement grants targeting comprehensive support and improvement schools. Representative sub-awards include Title I, Part A allocations received July 3, 2025, and July 14, 2024 (both amended during execution), and Title I, 1003 Effective Schools Framework grants awarded November 15, 2022, and December 3, 2021. A single CRRSA Act (ESSER II) COVID-19 pandemic response sub-award arrived October 22, 2021.

Activity volume declined across the past five years — from five awards in 2022 to two in 2026 — reflecting the receding tail of pandemic-era federal supplemental education funding and the routine annual compression of formula grant cycles. Combined dollars obligated across all 36 awards total $1.3 million, indicating modest federal supplemental support relative to the district's operating budget. One award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. Aspermont ISD operates exclusively within federal education grant programs rather than federal contracting, positioning it outside the competitive procurement space that federal contractors typically navigate.
