Grant School District

Grant School District, a local government school district headquartered in Grant, Oregon, receives federal funding as a grant recipient and a minor prime contractor, operating predominantly through federal formula grants and pass-through funding from state education agencies rather than direct federal contracting. The district's federal footprint is grant-driven (61% of the 67 total awards are grant sub-awards routed through the Oregon Department of Education), with minimal direct contract exposure — a single $32,000 land rental purchase order placed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Pacific Northwest Region in July 2024.

The district's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of Education programs. Across 67 recent federal awards spanning 2006 to August 2026, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 48 awards (72% of total) and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 12 awards (18% of total), together representing 96% of the award count. The Small, Rural School Achievement Program is the recurring federal grant vehicle, with five prime recipient awards (one for each fiscal year from 2022 through 2027, each closing September 30 of the following year). The district also receives grant sub-awards from the Oregon Department of Education across Title I Part A/D Basic Grants to Local Education Agencies, Supporting Effective Instruction grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, IDEA Part B 611 and 619 (special education funding), and supplemental awards including American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funds and the Rural School Library Revitalization grant. The single USDA award, structured as a purchase order with an August 2026 close date under Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04KKB095002, represents Grant County's land rental contribution to a USDA Forest Service R6 operation.

Activity has remained flat year over year across the past five years (six to eight awards annually between 2022 and 2026), with one award reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The reported combined potential value of all 67 awards ($58,000) is substantially below the combined obligated dollars ($4.7 million), indicating that the source system is capturing formula grant allocations at a nominal level while the actual per-award disbursements are significantly larger than the potential-value field reflects. Grant School District operates exclusively in the education and rural development space with no commercial services footprint and no subcontractor role on federal contracts.
