Laquey R-5 School District

Laquey R-5 School District, operating as the Laquey School Division in Lebanon, Missouri, is a U.S. local government school district that receives federal education and nutrition grants as a prime recipient from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and other state and federal pass-through entities.

Laquey R-5 is a public school district with no federal contracting footprint — the vendor holds no federal contracts or IDVs and competes in no contract set-asides. The district's federal activity consists entirely of grant funding under education and nutrition assistance programs. Prime grant awards focus on two recurring programs: the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grants awarded annually in July, most recently July 1, 2026 with completion September 30, 2027) and the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (project grants with multi-year performance periods, ranging from completion dates in 2027 through 2030). The district also receives sub-grants flowing from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the University of Missouri System, including Title I Part A Educationally Deprived, IDEA Part B, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Consolidated Nutrition Program (CNP) Block awards, American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief funds, and CNP supply-chain assistance. A single sub-award from the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services (CDC) in November 2021 supported K-12 COVID-19 screening testing programs.

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 38 of 52 total awards (73% by count), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service contributing 7 awards and secondary federal customers (Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Rural Housing Service, and CDC) contributing the remaining three. Combined dollars obligated across all prime and sub awards total $7.1 million. The district operates at roughly an even split between prime grant awards (28 awards, 54%) and sub-awards (24 awards, 46%), reflecting its dual role as a direct federal recipient and a state pass-through sub-recipient. Activity has grown from four awards in 2022 to ten in 2024, with five awards in 2025 and four in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The district does not serve as a contracting partner for federal contractors and is not positioned for teaming or sub-award opportunities on federal procurements.
