Harney Co School District 3

Harney Co School District 3, doing business as Burns-Hines School District, is a U.S. local government school district operating as a federal grant recipient in rural Oregon, receiving formula grants and sub-grants from the U.S. Department of Education to support K–12 instruction and special education. The district does not hold federal contracts and competes in no federal procurement vehicles; 77% of its federal footprint consists of pass-through sub-grants flowing from the Oregon Department of Education, the state intermediary for federal K–12 funding.

The district's federal activity is narrowly concentrated within the Department of Education. The top three customer segments (Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, and a general Department of Education award) account for 100% of the 87 total awards spanning the source data window. As a prime recipient, the district holds five formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs, awarded annually from fiscal 2022 through 2026, with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026, running through June 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through sub-grants from Oregon Department of Education across Title I Part A/D Basic Grants, IDEA Part B 611 and 619 special education grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund allocations. The district also received sub-grants for Title 1D Neglected and Delinquent, Rural and Low-Income Schools, and ARP Homeless Children and Youth support.

Activity has remained flat at 9–11 awards per year over the past five years, with 2026 showing seven awards to date. Combined dollars obligated across all 87 awards total $8.2 million, reflecting the district's status as a small rural LEA. Only one award is scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window. The district's federal role is passive; it receives and administers federal K–12 grants and sub-grants according to state and federal requirements but does not procure goods or services competitively on behalf of the federal government.
