About the company
Bear Paw School, a public K–12 school district located in Chinook, Montana, is a recipient of federal education grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The school operates as a government entity rather than a commercial vendor and does not compete for federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of formula grant awards to support rural education programming.
Bear Paw School has received five successive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued on July 1 of each fiscal year from 2022 through 2026. The most recent award, issued July 1, 2026, runs through September 30, 2027. Combined federal dollars obligated across all eighteen awards in the source data total $218 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of rural school district federal funding. The school also received one sub-award under Title I Part A Basic (CFDA 84.010) distributed through the Montana Office of Public Instruction in July 2023.
The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education is the sole customer, accounting for 100% of recent awards. Activity has been steady but sparse—one or two awards per year over the past five years—with only one award (the 2026–2027 Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant running through September 30, 2027) facing completion within the next twenty-four months.
As a government entity, Bear Paw School is not positioned as a federal contractor partner, teaming vehicle, or subcontractor. The school's role in federal funding is that of a grant recipient using formula allocations to support instructional and operational capacity in a rural Montana setting. For federal contractors, Bear Paw School represents neither a procurement opportunity nor a competitive threat; its presence in federal award databases reflects its status as a public institution eligible for and participating in federal education-support programs rather than its engagement in the federal contracting marketplace.
