Harney County School District 05

Harney County School District 05, operating as Pine Creek School District 5, is a rural Oregon school district that receives federal formula grants and pass-through sub-grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient for elementary and secondary education programs. The district operates as a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Drewsey, Oregon, with no contract prime awardees but consistent federal grant funding rooted in the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) and special education initiatives.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated in two education-focused customer agencies. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 31 of 43 total awards (100% coverage across the top customers), while the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 11 awards. A single Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 award rounds out the portfolio. Across prime and sub roles, the district is split 42% prime (18 awards) and 58% sub-recipient (25 awards), reflecting its structural position as both a direct SRSA grant recipient and a pass-through grantee under the Oregon Department of Education as prime grantee.

As a prime recipient, Pine Creek School District 5 holds five SRSA formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, one each awarded July 1 of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with ultimate completion dates spanning September 30, 2023 through September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district receives and manages allocations of special education funding (IDEA Part B Section 611 and 619 grants), Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund (ARP-ESSER), and lead testing of drinking water for schools programs, all flowing from the Oregon Department of Education as the state-level prime grantee. Grant sub-awards span from November 2021 (IDEA Part B 619 ARP and Special Ed Preschool Grant) through August 6, 2026 (Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants), with most recent sub-award activity in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year.

The district's activity volume is flat to declining: five awards in 2022 and 2023, dropping to four in 2024 and three each in 2025 and 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards totals $458 thousand, reflecting the small scale of rural K-12 grant administration. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The district serves as a grant steward for rural school improvement and special education services in an economically constrained region, with no federal contract procurement posture or prime contractor relationships in the source data.
