Clark School District 12-2

Clark School District 12-2, a public school district in Clark, South Dakota, is a federal grant recipient operating as a prime grantee under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of formula funding from the South Dakota Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based, with 31% of recent awards held as prime recipient and 69% as sub-recipient. Clark School District 12-2 is a U.S. local government entity and does not carry SBA certifications or small-business set-aside designations.

The district's federal grant activity centers on K–12 education funding and nutrition programs. As a prime recipient, Clark School District 12-2 has received five consecutive annual allocations under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSAP) from the Department of Education, with awards dated July 1 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, each running through September 30 of the following year. As a sub-recipient, the district draws funding through the South Dakota Department of Education across Title I Basic Grants, Title II Professional Development (REAP), Title IV Student Support, elevating literacy initiatives, and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) block grant allocations. The sub-award portfolio includes multiple NSLP block grant claims running October 2024 through September 2025 and October 2025 through November 2026, and nine school-lunch sub-awards dated October 2023.

Customer concentration is narrow and stable. Two agencies account for 97% of recent awards: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (16 awards, all prime SRSAP grants and one direct title-grant sub-award) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (12 awards, entirely nutrition-program sub-awards flowing through South Dakota). Total dollars obligated across the full award portfolio are $1.8 million. Activity spiked in 2023 (11 awards) and has remained modest since (3 awards in 2024, 5 in 2025, 3 in 2026). Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, signaling minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The district does not sit on federal contract vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs) and does not engage in federal contracting work; its federal relationship is limited to pass-through education and nutrition formula funding typical of rural school districts.
