County Of Elbert Agate School District #300

County Of Elbert Agate School District #300, operating as Agate Elementary School in Agate, Colorado, is a U.S. local government school district that receives federal grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient, with no prime contracting activity. The district operates exclusively in the federal grant space, serving two customer agencies across education and nutrition programs with no SBA set-aside designations applicable to grant recipients.

The district's federal footprint centers on two grantor agencies. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds five consecutive prime awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grants) spanning 2022 through 2026, with ultimate completion dates running through September 2027. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service provides recurring sub-award funding through the Board of Education Colorado as prime grantee; Agate Elementary receives nutrition-block sub-grants (fiscal years 2023–2026), Summer EBT supplemental nutrition awards, ARP ESSER III pandemic relief funding, and school counseling grants (SCG). The nutrition-block sub-awards flow monthly from the Board of Education Colorado to the school, supporting the district's child nutrition program operations.

Activity has grown substantially — one award in 2022 to eleven in 2024, settling at ten awards in 2025 and nine in 2026. Across 49 total federal awards in the source, the district operates as a prime recipient on 20 awards (41%) and as a sub-recipient on 29 awards (59%), with the Department of Agriculture accounting for 27 awards and the Department of Education accounting for 22 awards across the combined portfolio. Combined federal obligations total $871 thousand across all awards. The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months consists of one award, indicating minimal near-term grant renewal pressure.

This is a school district entity, not a federal contractor or a vendor serving as a prime or sub on federal contracts. The district's role is as a direct beneficiary and administrator of federal education and nutrition assistance programs, not as a provider of goods or services to federal agencies or other federal contractors. For competitive-intelligence or partnership purposes, Agate Elementary School does not represent a prime or subcontracting opportunity; it is a federal grant recipient institution.
