Junction Elementary School District

Junction Elementary School District, operating as Junction Elementary School, is a U.S. local government entity and rural school district based in Somes Bar, California, that receives federal formula grants for K–12 education and operates as a prime recipient on federal education and land rental contracts. The district does not compete under small business set-asides; it operates on full-and-open awards as a government entity.

Junction Elementary is fundamentally an education recipient, not a federal contractor. The district's federal footprint splits between education grants and incidental service contracts. On the education side, the district receives recurrent formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA 84.358) and Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060), with awards issued annually since at least 2022. A longer-term Impact Aid Program grant (Title VII, Section 7003) issued in December 2021 runs through September 2027. These education grants fund operations and Indian education services for a rural district serving Native American communities in Northern California. The district also holds two incidental service contracts with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region): a $58 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order for land rental services at the Orleans Complex in Eureka, California, awarded July 10, 2025 and due August 7, 2025, and a $1.987 thousand purchase order issued August 18, 2024 for land rental, completed January 14, 2025. These land rental contracts reflect the district's geographic position near federal forest operations.

The district's federal customer base is concentrated almost exclusively in the Department of Education (47 awards across recent years), with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounting for 2 awards valued at $60 thousand. Activity has been stable at two to three awards per year for the past five years. The district holds no parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; all awards are direct to Junction Elementary. The district does not serve as a subcontractor and has no subcontract footprint. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
