Farwell ISD School District

Farwell ISD School District, a Texas public school district, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient under the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with a recurring footprint in the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and as a sub-recipient of Title I, Part A funds channeled through the Texas Education Agency.

Farwell ISD is a U.S. government entity (a state-chartered local educational agency) headquartered in Farwell, Texas, with no prime federal contracting activity and no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles or contract IDIQs. The district's federal relationship is entirely grant-based and flows through two channels: direct formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and sub-awards of federal K-12 education dollars passed through the Texas Education Agency.

On the prime side, Farwell ISD holds five Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, awarded annually on July 1 (most recent award July 1, 2026, completing September 30, 2027). These are formula-allocated grants under the broad K-12 education-improvement umbrella. On the sub-recipient side, the district receives Title I, Part A funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act, passed through the Texas Education Agency. Title I, Part A provides supplemental resources to schools serving high concentrations of low-income students to support academic achievement in state content standards. Sub-award activity began in 2022 and continues through the present; the most recent sub-award dated August 8, 2026, with one sub-award carrying an April 15, 2025 amendment.

The district's federal award footprint is concentrated and stable. Across thirty-two total awards (prime and sub combined) over the past five years, annual volume has held steady at two to three awards per year; the combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2.2 million. The district serves one distinct customer agency — the Department of Education — meaning all federal funding derives from K-12 education sources with no diversification to other agencies. Prime awards account for 63% of the portfolio (twenty awards), and sub-awards for 37% (twelve awards). One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.
