Klamath River Union School District

Klamath River Union School District, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Klamath River, California, operates as a federal grant recipient (77% of recent awards) and occasional purchase-order contractor, delivering K–12 educational programming and facility services to federal education and agricultural agencies. The district does not hold prime federal contracts or IDVs; its federal footprint is dominated by recurring annual formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and subordinate cash-and-commodity grants routed through the California Department of Education.

The district's customer base concentrates heavily on education. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 23 awards across the portfolio, anchored by five consecutive annual Small Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (July 2022 through July 2026, with the most recent completing September 30, 2027). The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service contributes three sub-awards from the California Department of Education covering child nutrition services — breakfast and lunch subsidies. Two purchase orders from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5 (Pacific Southwest Region) total $56 thousand for facility use and land access; a single $350 purchase order from Forest Service R6 (Pacific Northwest Region) represents minimal commodity or service delivery to federal forestry operations.

The district's grant work centers on K–12 academic achievement, teacher quality, and high-poverty school support. Small Rural School Achievement Program awards flow directly to the district as prime recipient. Sub-awards from California Department of Education distribute Title I funding for high-poverty school improvement, teacher quality initiatives, and student academic achievement acceleration. Nutrition sub-awards (breakfast and lunch programs, USDA Food and Nutrition Service) pass through the state education agency to the district as implementing agent.

Activity has remained flat at two awards annually from 2022 through 2025, rising to six awards in 2026 driven by the current cycle of formula grant renewals. Combined potential value across all awards is $57 thousand — a figure substantially lower than combined obligated dollars ($432 thousand), indicating that actual spend has far exceeded posted ceiling values, a typical pattern for recurring formula education grants where ceilings are nominal and appropriations flow separately. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure. The district holds no parent contract vehicles and functions exclusively in direct grant receipt and facility-use purchase orders, with no documented subcontractor or prime-teaming relationships in the federal award footprint.
