About the company
Bear Paw Cooperative, a Montana school district and local government entity based in Chinook, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal education grants, with no prime contract or grant awards in the source record.
Bear Paw Cooperative is a U.S. local government and school district structure, not a for-profit vendor or contractor. The entity has received four federal education grants as a sub-recipient, all flowing through the Montana Office of Public Instruction as the prime grantee, with combined obligations of $2.9 million over a three-year period. The work consists of special education and elementary/secondary education programs funded under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (CFDA 84.027, IDEA Part B and IDEA B) and pandemic relief funding under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief program (CFDA 84.425, ESSER I).
Sub-awards are distributed as follows: three awards under IDEA Part B / IDEA B from the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (July 1, 2023; July 1, 2024; October 31, 2025) and one award under ESSER I from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (September 30, 2022). Activity has remained steady at one award per calendar year. The October 31, 2025 award represents the most recent sub-recipient grant allocation to Bear Paw Cooperative. As a school district rather than a federal contractor, Bear Paw Cooperative does not compete on federal contract vehicles, hold GSA Schedules, or maintain SBA set-aside certifications; its federal footprint consists entirely of K–12 education grant pass-throughs from the state education agency.
