Cross County Community School

Cross County Community School, a public school district based in Stromsburg, Nebraska, operates as a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Education, receiving formula grants and sub-awards across elementary and secondary education programs rather than competing as a federal contractor.

Cross County Community School is a U.S. local government entity structured as a school district. The vendor holds no federal contract prime positions and does not compete on contract vehicles; all federal activity flows through grant awards and sub-awards routed via the Department of Education. The district's federal footprint is split between direct prime grant recipients and sub-recipients of state education block allocations passed through the Nebraska Department of Education.

The district's customer concentration rests entirely with the Department of Education and subordinate agencies. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 26 of 49 total awards as a prime grantor; the Food and Nutrition Service (Department of Agriculture) accounts for 20 awards, likely tied to child nutrition programs; and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 3 awards. The prime grant activity centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program under the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with annual formula awards dated July 1 each year from 2022 through 2026, each running through September 30 of the following fiscal year. Recent sub-awards flow from Nebraska Department of Education as prime grantee, covering Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funds, School Mental Health Project allocations, and block-grant distributions across multiple program lines. Sub-award frequency and naming conventions indicate monthly or quarterly sub-grant passes from the state education agency to the district.

Activity shows recent growth: one award each in 2022 and 2023, thirteen in both 2024 and 2025, and five through mid-2026. Combined dollars obligated across all 49 awards total $1.2 million. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The district does not operate as a federal contractor or subcontractor; it functions as a pass-through entity for K–12 education funding, relying on formula-driven allocations from federal education programs rather than competitive procurement.
