Mahnomen And Norman Cos

Mahnomen And Norman Cos, doing business as Mahnomen Public School, is a U.S. local government school district located in Mahnomen, Minnesota, that operates as a federal grant recipient providing K–12 educational services to American Indian and Alaska Native students. The district acts as prime recipient on federal grants (86% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on pass-through awards from the Minnesota Department of Education, with all funding sourced from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Mahnomen Public School's grant portfolio centers on two recurring federal programs. The Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) provides annual formula grants supporting instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student services for Native American students in grades K–12. Representative awards include $132,226 (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025), $121,120 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026), and $111,225 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). The Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) compensates the district for lost local property tax revenue caused by federal property acquisition and the presence of federally connected children. Impact Aid awards include a $2,586,549 project grant (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031), a grant awarded December 16, 2024 (ultimate completion September 30, 2030), and a grant awarded November 16, 2023 (ultimate completion September 30, 2029). The district also receives sub-awards passed through the Minnesota Department of Education, including COVID-19 relief funding such as the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund, with seven sub-awards recorded between 2023 and 2024.

Customer concentration is singular: all 51 awards in the source derive from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, spanning $34 million in combined dollars obligated. The district's award activity has fluctuated — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, seven in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value not specified) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure. Mahnomen Public School serves a significant Native American student enrollment and is required to limit administrative costs to 5% of Indian Education grant awards and maintain project records for three years following grant completion.
