College Of Southern Idaho

College of Southern Idaho (CSI), a public community college based in Twin Falls, Idaho, acts as a federal grant recipient and prime contractor delivering specialized workforce training, educational programming, and community facility services to civilian federal agencies with no set-aside designation. CSI competes in the full-and-open market; the institution is neither 8(a) certified nor otherwise SBA-designated.

CSI's federal footprint splits between prime grants (64% of awards) and sub-recipient grant work (36%), with minimal contract revenue. On the prime contract side, CSI holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of the Air Force (awarded March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2029, ceiling $50,000) for motorcycle safety training at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. Five task orders totaling $49,000 in combined potential value have been issued under this IDC for Basic Riders Courses and Enhanced Street Skills courses delivered through firm fixed-price delivery orders; the most recent award of $12,720 was issued April 1, 2026, with completion by July 31, 2026. CSI also holds a $33,300 purchase order from the U.S. Forest Service (awarded July 11, 2024, completed September 11, 2025) for land rental services in the Eastern Great Basin region. Prime federal grant work includes a $3.3 million Project Grant from USDA's Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766), awarded December 4, 2023, for construction and improvement of essential community facilities in rural Idaho, with completion by December 4, 2025.

CSI's customer concentration reflects a broad grant-dependent footprint. The top five funding entities by award count—the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (10 awards), the Corporation for National and Community Service (10 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (9 awards), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (5 awards, $78,000 combined potential value), and the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (5 awards)—account for 38% of recent awards. The rankings diverge sharply by dollar value: the Department of the Air Force (5 awards, $87,000 combined potential value) and the Department of Interior BLM Idaho Region (5 awards, $78,000) dominate the small dollar contract base, while the Department of Education and the Corporation for National and Community Service drive volume through numerous sub-million-dollar grants. Recent grant activity includes a Title V Program grant (October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2025) and a South-Central Idaho CCAMPIS (Child Care Access Means Parents in School) Program grant (October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2026) from the Office of Postsecondary Education; a NextGen Agriculture workforce development grant from the USDA's Institute of Youth, Family, and Community (June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2028); and a Head Start and Early Head Start program grant from the Office of Head Start (January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026).

As a sub-recipient, CSI participates in 37 federal grant sub-awards flowing through regional and state administering entities, notably Boise State University (Idaho Small Business Development Center regional office, multiple awards), the University of Idaho (INBRE and NIH grant pass-throughs), the Idaho Commission on Aging (Older Americans Act programs), the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (respite care expansion), the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (refugee reception, resettlement, and community integration services), and the Idaho State Board of Education (child nutrition programs, career technical education). Sub-award work centers on STEM pathway development, business development center operations, aging services coordination, refugee support and case management, and secondary education support.

Recent activity shows growth through 2024 (22 awards) followed by contraction in 2025 and 2026 (7 and 3 awards respectively); four awards totaling $13,000 in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The institution's federal capability portfolio is specialized: motorcycle safety training and commercial driver education dominate the contract base (6 NAICS awards in Automobile Driving Schools), while grant-funded work concentrates in administration of education programs, workforce development, STEM pathways, refugee resettlement services, and aging-in-place community programming. CSI's federal revenue model is heavily grant-dependent, with obligated dollars ($408.4 million across all awards) substantially exceeding combined potential value across the portfolio, reflecting the institution's role as a grant-passing and sub-award administrator rather than as a vendor of discrete procured services.
