Crawford Independent School District

Crawford Independent School District, a U.S. government entity and public school district headquartered in Crawford, Texas, receives federal funding as a grant recipient under the Department of Education's Small, Rural School Achievement Program and as a sub-recipient under Title I, Part A supplemental education funding from the Texas Education Agency, which administers federal ESEA and ESSA resources to school systems serving high-concentration low-income student populations.

Crawford ISD's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. The district acts as a prime grant recipient on five awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (July 2022 through September 2027), all issued by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district simultaneously receives sub-grant allocations routed through the Texas Education Agency under Title I, Part A of ESEA/ESSA, with sub-awards dated July 2022, July 2024, July 2025, and August 2026. A single sub-award from the Texas Department of Agriculture's Local Food Supply (LFS) grant program arrived in June 2024. Across the thirty federal awards in the source data (nineteen prime, eleven sub), the department of Education accounts for 29 awards (100% coverage by count), with a single Department of Agriculture award rounding out the customer base. Combined federal dollars obligated total $1.8 million across the entire snapshot, reflecting the modest scale of rural school district grant operations. Activity has been flat to declining — three awards in 2022, one in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 (as of mid-August). Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, placing minimal recompete pressure in the near term.

As a school district, Crawford ISD does not compete for federal contracts, sit on vendor vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs, or Schedules), or serve as a subcontractor to federal prime contractors. The district's entire federal engagement consists of formula grants and pass-through allocations designed to supplement K-12 education delivery for disadvantaged student populations. This posture — public entity, education sector, grant recipient only — makes Crawford ISD relevant to competitive intelligence primarily in contexts where prime contractors or system integrators are pursuing education or rural-community-development work involving subgrant flows or state pass-through partnerships, not as a direct vendor competitor or teaming option.
