Cedar Bluffs Public Schools

Cedar Bluffs Public Schools, doing business as Cedar Bluffs Elementary School, is a U.S. local government school district based in Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska, that operates as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and receives sub-awards through the Nebraska Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space, with 62% of recent awards flowing to it as a sub-recipient rather than as a prime grant recipient.

Cedar Bluffs Public Schools' federal grant footprint centers on K–12 education funding vehicles. As a prime recipient, the district has received annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, running through September 30 in their respective completion years. The district acts as a sub-recipient on a much larger portfolio of awards flowing through the Nebraska Department of Education, which serves as the prime grantee. These sub-awards span Title I grants to local education agencies (including Title I Part A Basic Grants to LEAs), 21st Century Community Learning Centers continuation grants, state block grants, IDEA Part B special education funding, and related formula allocations. Sub-award activity has concentrated in 2024 and 2025, with fourteen sub-awards in 2024 and thirteen in 2025, reflecting the rhythm of annual state pass-through allocations tied to the federal fiscal year and school calendar.

The district's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (28 awards), which accounts for the bulk of activity and represents the primary federal funding source for the district's operations. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service represents the second major source (19 awards), likely reflecting child nutrition program funding such as the National School Lunch Program or related meal assistance initiatives. The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services contributes three awards. Combined dollars obligated across all fifty awards totals $2 million, reflecting the formula-grant and block-grant nature of education funding — modest per-award amounts distributed across many annual allocations rather than large individual contracts. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete risk in the immediate window.
