Lone Pine Unified School District

Lone Pine Unified School District (operating as Lone Pine High School) is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Lone Pine, California, that receives federal grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime recipient, with no federal contracts or IDV seats.

Lone Pine USD operates exclusively as a grant recipient under three federal education programs administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district has received formula grants and project grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs, and Impact Aid Program (Title VII, Section 7003) since 2006. Representative recent awards include a Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant (award date July 1, 2026, completion September 30, 2027), an Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs formula grant (award date July 1, 2026, completion June 30, 2027), and an Impact Aid Program project grant (award date October 1, 2025, completion September 30, 2031). The district also receives sub-recipient funding routed through the California Department of Education, including sub-awards for teacher and principal quality improvement (August 31, 2026) and student academic achievement initiatives (September 1, 2025), as well as COVID-19 pandemic response sub-grants distributed in 2022.

Lone Pine USD's customer base is entirely concentrated in a single federal agency — the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 52 of 53 awards in the source data (98% coverage). Prime grants comprise 91% of the award footprint, with 5 sub-awards (9%) routed through the California Department of Education as the prime grantee. Over the past five years, award activity has remained modest and flat: three awards in both 2023 and 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all 53 awards total $2.7 million. Two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete opportunity. As a school district, Lone Pine USD does not bid on federal contracts, sit on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or engage in subcontracting on federal procurements — the entity's federal footprint is limited to grant administration and compliance with elementary and secondary education formula and project grant programs.
