Cascade School District

Cascade School District, a U.S. local government educational institution headquartered in Leavenworth, Washington, operates as a sub-recipient on federal education and nutrition grants administered by the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and holds one small prime contract for land rental services with the Department of Agriculture. The district is not a for-profit vendor and does not pursue federal contracting as a primary business line; recent federal activity consists almost entirely of pass-through education and child nutrition funding (90% of awards as sub-recipient) flowing from state intermediaries to the school district's own operations.

The district's federal footprint divides sharply between routine education grants and a single land-rental transaction. Grant work centers on the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which issues Title I Part A, Title I Part C Migrant, and Title IIA Supporting Effective Instruction sub-awards through the Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction (six awards documented). The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for the plurality of recent federal activity (19 awards), all flowing through the state superintendent as pass-through grants for child nutrition program reimbursement and administrative support. A single prime contract award on July 25, 2026, from the Department of Agriculture Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region values land rental services at $73,480 with performance in Wenatchee, Washington, and ultimate completion date of August 10, 2026. No small business set-aside was applied to that contract.

Cascade School District's total federal obligation across all awards in the source data reaches approximately $2 million, though the combined potential value across documented awards is only $78,000—a discrepancy reflecting that this district is a recipient of substantial recurring education and nutrition funding that passes through state mechanisms rather than direct federal contracts. The district serves four distinct federal agencies but concentrates activity with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and the Department of Education. Cascade does not maintain active seats on federal vehicles and does not operate a prime contracting or subcontracting practice in the defense or civilian federal market.
