Hyder School District 16

Hyder School District 16, doing business as Dateland Elementary School, is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Dateland, Arizona that operates as a federal grant recipient, not a federal contractor. The district receives federal education and rural infrastructure funding directly from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service, and also acts as a sub-recipient on pass-through grants from the Arizona Department of Education. The district has not been awarded federal contracts and does not hold positions on federal contract vehicles; all federal activity is grant-based.

The district's funding concentration is almost entirely education-focused. Across 24 awards in the source data spanning from 2007 to the present, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 21 awards (88% of the portfolio), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for 2 awards, and the Rural Utilities Service for 1 award. The district acts as a prime grant recipient in 71% of its awards and as a sub-recipient in 29%, receiving pass-through funding from Arizona Department of Education on Title I education programs and block grants.

Representative prime grant activity includes recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded July 1 annually from 2022 through 2026, with ultimate completion dates of September 30 in their respective completion years. The district also received a SEARCH Grants—Water Only project grant from the Rural Utilities Service awarded August 13, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 13, 2027. On the sub-recipient side, the district receives Title I pass-through funding and block grants channeled through the Arizona Department of Education, with sub-awards issued most recently in July 2026 and historically back to January 2022.

Award activity has remained modest and relatively flat. The district received 2 awards in 2024, 4 awards in 2025, and 2 awards in 2026, with combined dollars obligated across all 24 awards totaling $907 thousand over the source period. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. The district does not operate as a vendor to federal contractors and has no presence in the federal contract market; it exists solely within the federal grant ecosystem for K-12 education and rural infrastructure programming.
