Litchfield Public School District 15

Litchfield Public School District 15, a Nebraska-based school district in Litchfield, operates as a federal grant recipient (83% of recent awards) under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with supplementary sub-award participation through the Nebraska Department of Education. As a U.S. local government entity and public school district, Litchfield Public School District 15 does not hold federal contracts and does not compete under SBA set-aside designations.

Litchfield Public School District 15's federal footprint centers on formula grants for rural school support. The district has received five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026; the most recent award (July 1, 2026) runs through September 30, 2027. The district also participates as a sub-recipient in four grants issued to the Nebraska Department of Education, including a School Mental Health Project sub-award dated August 29, 2024, and three additional block-grant sub-awards issued in 2025 (May 1, September 1, and October 1).

Customer concentration is narrow. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for all prime award activity (20 awards across the full award history), while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service has placed 3 awards, likely representing child nutrition or food-assistance programs. The combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $387 thousand, reflecting the modest scale of rural school district federal funding flows. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window.

Litchfield Public School District 15's federal engagement is characteristic of rural school districts: recurring annual formula grants under CFDA 84.358 (Small, Rural School Achievement Program) with administrative oversight by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and sub-recipient roles in state-administered education and nutrition programs flowing through the Nebraska Department of Education. The district does not maintain a federal contracting footprint and does not pursue procurement vehicles; all federal funding arrives as pass-through grants or sub-grants directed to educational program delivery.
