USD 314 Brewster

USD 314 Brewster, doing business as Brewster School, is a U.S. government entity and public school district based in Brewster, Kansas that operates as a prime recipient of federal education grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The vendor does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the federal grant space, receiving formula grants as a primary recipient and sub-awards from the Kansas State Department of Education.

Brewster School's federal footprint centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA title not specified in source), a formula grant administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The vendor has received five consecutive annual allocations under this program (July 2022 through July 2026), with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026 and completion set for September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, Brewster School also engages with block grants and education-of-low-income-students funding routed through the Kansas State Department of Education, with sub-award activity recorded in August 2022, November 2022, and November 2024.

Customer concentration is minimal and fixed. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for all 23 prime grant awards and sub-grant awards combined (100% of award count); the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service represents the remaining two awards. The vendor serves only these two agencies, with no contract prime awardees or contract vehicles in the portfolio.

Activity has been episodic and declining in recent years. The source records 25 total awards spanning back to 2007, but recent annual volume shows one award in 2025, two in 2024, one in 2023, and three in 2022. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $505 thousand, reflecting the formula-grant and sub-award scale typical of small rural school districts. One award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (the July 2025 Small, Rural School Achievement Program award completing September 30, 2026), but this represents a routine annual cycle for formula funding rather than a recompete exposure in the commercial sense.

Brewster School operates as a federal grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The vendor maintains no seat on federal contract vehicles, holds no IDIQs or GWACs, and does not pursue federal procurement opportunities. The entity's federal posture is consistent with its public-school-district status — a recipient of education formula grants administered by the Department of Education and a sub-recipient on state-pass-through education funding from Kansas.
