Gogebic - Ontonagon Intermediate School District

Gogebic - Ontonagon Intermediate School District, doing business as Goisd, is a Michigan-based public school district that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient through the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with supplemental sub-grant awards flowing from the Michigan Department of Education and the State of Michigan. The organization does not hold federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based and concentrated in K-12 education and early intervention programming.

Goisd operates as a local government entity (school district) headquartered in Bergland, Michigan. The organization qualifies as a small and rural school district eligible for formula-grant assistance. The district does not compete for federal contracts and carries no SBA designations; its relationship to federal funding is passive — formula-grant distributions and pass-through sub-awards from state educational agencies administering federal programs on behalf of Michigan LEAs (local educational agencies).

The organization's federal activity centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Between 2022 and 2026, Goisd held five consecutive annual prime grants under this formula-grant program, with awards issued on July 1 each year and ultimate completion dates approximately fifteen months later (most recently, July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027). These constitute the organization's only direct federal prime awards. Alongside prime Small, Rural School Achievement grants, Goisd receives sub-grant allocations from the Michigan Department of Education and the State of Michigan to support various federal programs operating within Michigan, including Special Education (Part C of IDEA, Early On), Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CLFRF) resources under the American Rescue Plan Act, career and technical education (Perkins V), early intervention services, and teacher professional development. Recent sub-grants awarded between 2023 and 2025 support early intervention, DOE program implementation, and special education services for infants and families with disabilities.

Goisd's customer concentration is entirely within the U.S. Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services together account for 100% of the organization's 38 documented federal awards (24 and 12 awards respectively); the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education's Office of Career Technical and Adult Education account for one award each. The organization has obligated $6.3 million across all awards since 2007. Award activity has grown from two awards in 2022 to eight in 2024, with six awards in 2025 and one in 2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
