Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District

Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District, a U.S. local government entity and school district located in Hoopa, California, acts as a prime recipient of federal education grants and as a minor prime contractor for land rental services to the USDA Forest Service, with the overwhelming majority of federal funding flowing through education grant programs rather than competitive procurement.

The district's federal footprint is dominated by Education Department grants supporting Native American education. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 57 of 77 total awards in the source data (74% of award count), consisting primarily of formula grants under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) and the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). Representative prime grants include a $280,476 Indian Education Formula Grant for July 2026 through June 2027, a $5.198 million Impact Aid Project Grant running through September 2031 (awarded October 2025), and a prior $269,763 Indian Education Formula Grant for the 2025–2026 award year. These grants fund academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services addressing the unique educational and culturally related needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. The district also receives federal funding as a sub-recipient through the California Department of Education and the California Department of Social Services for school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch services, child and adult food care), Title I low-poverty school improvement, career and technical education, English language learner support, special education for children ages 3–5, education for homeless children and youth, and COVID-19 pandemic response. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 11 awards, all routed through California state agencies as sub-grants.

The district holds two minor firm fixed-price purchase orders with the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) for land and facility rental services in support of forest management and fire recovery operations: a $4,200 purchase order issued July 21, 2025, for the Orleans Complex project in Redding, California, and a $14,000 purchase order issued August 19, 2023, supporting 2023 fire recovery efforts in Eureka, California. Combined potential value across all awards is $18,000, but combined dollars obligated across all awards reported $101.8 million, indicating substantial underlying obligational activity within the grant programs that the source's "potential value" metric does not fully capture. Activity has grown in recent years, with fourteen awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date compared to four in 2023 and twelve in 2024. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term within the source window. The district serves seven distinct customer agencies, but Education remains the primary federal partner by more than an order of magnitude.
