Loomis Public School District 55

Loomis Public School District 55, doing business as Loomis Elementary School, is a U.S. local government school district located in Loomis, Nebraska that operates as a federal grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The district does not hold federal prime contracts or IDVs; it receives and administers federal education grants directly from the U.S. Department of Education and also receives sub-grants distributed through the Nebraska Department of Education.

The district's federal footprint is dominated by formula grants and pass-through allocations from K–12 education programs. As a direct prime recipient, Loomis Elementary has received five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with award dates of July 1 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, each running through the following September 30. As a sub-recipient, the district receives Title I grants to local education agencies, block grants, special education allocations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Child Nutrition Program (CNP) block allocations, and school mental health project funding, all flowing through the Nebraska Department of Education since at least 2023. The district's most recent sub-grant award was dated August 29, 2026, for Title I grants to local education agencies; prior awards span monthly and periodic allocations of general block funding, IDEA Part B and non-public special education support, and school mental health project resources dated through August 2026.

Customer concentration is 100% education-aligned: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 25 of 46 total awards in the source data, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (child nutrition programs) for 19 awards, and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for 2 awards. The district operates as a sub-recipient in 59% of its federal awards (27 of 46), reflecting its status as a local education agency receiving allocations and pass-through grants from state-level grantees rather than direct federal procurement. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total approximately $1.1 million over the source period. Activity has accelerated in recent years — one award in 2022, two in 2023, twelve in 2024, eleven in 2025, and six in the first months of 2026 — driven by the frequency of block-grant and monthly sub-grant distributions through Nebraska. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.
