Duncan USD

Duncan USD, doing business as Duncan Primary School, is a U.S. local government school district operating in Duncan, Arizona, that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient and operates as a sub-recipient on federal education and nutrition programs flowed through the Arizona Department of Education. The district competes exclusively within federal grant programs rather than contract vehicles; all recent federal activity is grant-based, not procurement.

Duncan Primary School's federal footprint centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, which has awarded the district five consecutive formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 annually from 2022 through 2026 and ultimate completion dates spanning September 2023 through September 2027. Beyond its prime grant role, the district operates as a sub-recipient on federal education programs flowed through Arizona's state education agency. Sub-awards documented since 2021 include Title I grant programs (Jul 2025, Jul 2023), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Basic Section 611 subgrants to local educational agencies (Jul 2025, Jul 2024), art program supplies funded through federal education dollars (Jul 2024), and additional block grants and program support per federal guidelines (Nov 2021 through Jul 2026).

Customer concentration is narrow and predictable. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 23 of 29 total awards; the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) accounts for 4 awards; and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 2 awards. This 100% coverage reflects the district's exclusive position as a rural school recipient and IDEA beneficiary operating within the federal K–12 education and special education funding ecosystem. Activity has been modest and consistent—one to four awards annually over the past five years—with only one award facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2 million, reflecting the scale typical of a small rural Arizona school district drawing formula-based federal education assistance rather than discretionary or competitive procurement.
