Douglas Co School District 15

Douglas Co School District 15, doing business as Days Creek School District, is a local government school district in Days Creek, Oregon that receives federal education and nutrition grants as a prime recipient (27% of recent awards) and predominantly as a sub-recipient (73%) through the Oregon Department of Education. The district operates as a U.S. government entity and does not hold federal contracts.

Days Creek School District's federal footprint centers entirely on education funding from the Department of Education and nutrition support from the Department of Agriculture. The district serves as a prime recipient of Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 annually (most recent award July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027). The district also receives the vast majority of its federal support as a sub-recipient from the Oregon Department of Education, which passes through Title I Part A/D Basic Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, special education funding under IDEA Part B (sections 611 and 619), career and technical education grants, Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund (ARP-ESSER) support, and Child Nutrition Program funding including Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program awards and National School Lunch Program equipment grants. Recent sub-grant awards span from December 2021 through August 2026, with the Oregon Department of Education as the pass-through entity for all sub-awards.

Customer concentration is narrow and entirely within federal education agencies. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 55 awards (73% of the portfolio), the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for 12 awards, and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for 6 awards and 1 additional award, totaling coverage of 100% of identified awards. Activity has remained modest and variable — ranging from 6 awards in 2025 to 11 in 2023 — with combined dollars obligated across all 75 awards totaling $2.3 million over the source period beginning in 2007. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district's federal engagement is characteristic of small rural school districts receiving formula-based entitlements and pass-through grants rather than competing for discretionary procurement vehicles or contracts.
