Highland Falls Fort Montgomery School District

Highland Falls Fort Montgomery School District, doing business as Town Of Highlands Board Of Edcuation, is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Highland Falls, New York, that delivers K-12 educational services to dependent children of military personnel stationed at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point as a prime contractor and grant recipient. The district operates exclusively in the full-and-open marketplace with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The district's federal revenue derives from two distinct channels: a dominant Department of Defense Education Activity contract vehicle for secondary education at West Point, and federal grant passthrough from the New York State Education Department and Department of Homeland Security for K-12 support programs. On the contract side, Highland Falls Fort Montgomery holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (HE-125-422-D-0008) valued at $74.087 million with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2032, under which DoDEA issues annual firm fixed-price delivery orders for comprehensive educational instruction and support programs serving grades 9-12 at West Point. Recent delivery orders include a $5.917 million option-year-4 order awarded September 1, 2026 (the most recent prime award in the source), a $7.142 million option-year-3 order from September 2025, and earlier orders ranging from $6.6 million to $7.1 million annually. The district receives no subcontract revenue and performs all work with its own staff; SCI-reportable invoiced amounts across four fiscal years total zero dollars, reflecting either non-SCI-reportable contract structures or reporting lags, though the district deployed roughly 4.7 FTEs to SCI-reportable contracts in FY2024 and 3.3 FTEs in FY2025.

On the grant side, Highland Falls Fort Montgomery serves as a direct recipient of federal Impact Aid funding under CFDA 84.041 (Section 7002), which addresses revenue loss from federal acquisition of real property that reduces the local tax base. The district received a $3.765 million Impact Aid award on October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031, and holds multiple prior Impact Aid grants spanning fiscal years 2022–2029. The district also received a $111,097 project grant under the School Emergency Response to Violence (Project SERV) initiative (CFDA 84.184) in September 2024. Beyond direct federal awards, the district receives federal grant sub-awards from the New York State Education Department for Title I, Title IIA, Child Nutrition (CNP Block Consolidated), and educational support programs, and from the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services for facilities improvements.

Customer concentration is split between DoD Education Activity (15 awards, $168.7 million combined potential value—100% of the source's reported combined potential-value dollars) and education-focused civilian agencies. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education appears in 33 awards (primarily Impact Aid and grant-related), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service in 27 awards (child nutrition passthrough), and the Department of the Army and Department of the Navy in 12 and 4 awards respectively (military-family education support). These five agencies account for 92% of recent awards. The district's federal footprint is concentrated in NAICS 611110 (Elementary and Secondary Schools) and PSC Education/Training codes, reflecting its core mission as an operating school district rather than a federal contractor.

Activity has grown over the five-year window shown, rising from 7 awards in 2022 to a peak of 19 in 2025, though only 2 awards appear in the 2026 data through the source date. One award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with a combined potential value of $5.9 million (the current fiscal-year 4 delivery order due August 31, 2027), presenting a recompete opportunity. The district operates as a prime on 57% of its awards and receives federal funding as a sub-recipient on 43%, primarily through state-administered grant passthrough channels. This posture reflects the district's dual role: a direct federal contractor operating West Point's secondary school under a single dominant vehicle, and a sub-recipient of state-managed federal education and nutrition funding that flows through New York education and emergency-services agencies.
