Coachella Valley USD

Coachella Valley USD, a California school district headquartered in Thermal, operates as a federal grant recipient (35% of recent awards as prime recipient) and sub-recipient (65%) delivering K-12 educational services, student nutrition programs, and specialized education support funded through federal formula grants and pass-through awards from state education agencies. The district is a U.S. local government entity and school district with no federal contract prime awards or government-wide contract vehicle positions.

Coachella Valley USD's federal footprint centers on education and nutrition grant programs routed through the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The district holds five consecutive annual Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (CFDA withheld) from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, each carrying a one-year performance period through June 30 of the following fiscal year. As a sub-recipient, the district executes pass-through awards from the California Department of Education covering school breakfast and lunch nutrition services, limited English proficient student support, Title I high-poverty school improvements, career and technical education, adult education and literacy programs, and community learning centers. Coachella Valley USD also receives Head Start and Early Head Start sub-awards from Riverside County Office of Education and child care development funding through the California Department of Social Services. Recent sub-recipient work includes nutrition services, special education, and English learner program support issued by the California Department of Education with award dates spanning December 2024 through September 2026.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (54 awards, 84% of award count) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (21 awards), together accounting for the vast majority of the district's federal footprint. Five additional federal agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region round out active customer relationships. The combined potential value reported across all awards is $30 thousand, but obligated dollars total $111.3 million, reflecting the district's status as a formula-grant recipient where annual appropriations substantially exceed the nominal potential-value ceiling on individual award records. Activity has expanded from one award in 2022 to 27 awards in 2026 (nine months year-to-date), with only one award scheduled for completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition contracts, BPAs, or agency IDIQs; all federal funding flows through direct formula grant channels or pass-through agreements with state education departments and regional administrators.
