Grand Meadow Public School District

Grand Meadow Public School District, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Grand Meadow, Minnesota, is a federal grant recipient that operates exclusively under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA not specified in source) administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district does not hold federal contracts or serve as a prime contractor; it receives direct formula grants as a prime recipient and participates in sub-award distributions from the Minnesota Department of Education.

The district's federal footprint is narrow and recurring. Over the past five years, the district has received one award per year in 2022, 2023, and 2025; three awards in 2024; and one in 2026 — totaling 23 awards across all years in the source data since 2007, with a combined $988 thousand in obligated federal dollars. Prime grants (91% of awards) consist of five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Department of Education, awarded on July 1 of each year (2022 through 2026), with ultimate completion dates in the September following each award year. The most recent award, dated July 1, 2026, runs through September 30, 2027. The district also received two sub-awards from the Minnesota Department of Education in 2024 (dated May 6 and February 22), relating to prior-year grant cycles. A single Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service award rounds out the customer set. One award (the July 1, 2025 Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant completing September 30, 2026) falls within the next twenty-four-month recompete window.

The district's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 100% of recent prime awards through its formula-grant program for small, rural school districts. The sub-award structure reflects the pass-through mechanism common to state formula grants, where the Minnesota Department of Education distributes federal funds to local educational agencies. Grand Meadow Public School District does not operate as a subcontractor to federal primes, does not hold seats on government-wide vehicles, and does not compete for discretionary federal contracts. The award pattern reflects stable annual receipt of a recurring rural-school formula entitlement rather than competitive procurement activity.
