Malta Bend R-V School District

Malta Bend R-V School District, a public school district in Missouri operating as Malta Bend High School, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education and as a sub-recipient of pass-through funding from the Missouri Department of Education, focused on elementary and secondary school support programs.

Malta Bend operates as a U.S. local government entity and school district with no federal contracting footprint — the district holds no prime or sub contracts. The federal relationship is grant-based exclusively. As a prime recipient, Malta Bend has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued July 1 of each fiscal year from 2022 through 2026 and ultimate completion dates running through September 30, 2027. In its sub-recipient role, Malta Bend receives pass-through allocations from the Missouri Department of Education under multiple federal education programs: IDEA Part B grants (special education services), Title I Part A funding (educationally deprived students), Consolidated Nutrition Program block grants, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funds. Sub-awards flow annually, with the most recent received July 22, 2026.

Customer concentration reflects the education mission. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 18 of 25 total awards (72%); the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service for 4 awards; and the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for 2 awards, covering 96% of the portfolio. The district's federal footprint remains small, with $1.1 million in combined obligated dollars across all twenty-five awards over the past five years. Activity has been uneven — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, six in 2024, then three each in 2025 and 2026 — reflecting the cadence of annual formula-grant awards and their pass-through sub-allocations. One award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Malta Bend operates as a direct recipient and sub-recipient for K–12 federal education programs, with no presence in federal contracting or vendor supply chains.
