Manvel Public School District 125

Manvel Public School District 125, a U.S. local government school district based in Manvel, North Dakota, operates as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient, receiving formula grants directly from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and participating in child nutrition and Title I sub-award programs administered through the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

The district holds prime recipient status on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA), a formula grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Manvel received SRSA awards in July 2023, July 2024, July 2025, and July 2026, with ultimate completion dates of September 2024, September 2025, September 2026, and September 2027 respectively. The district's larger federal footprint, however, derives from sub-award funding routed through North Dakota Department of Public Instruction as the prime grantee. Since late 2023, Manvel has received sixty-seven sub-awards spanning child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program paid and free/reduced meals, School Breakfast Program), summer food service programs (SFSP administration and meals), child nutrition block grants, Title I (84.010A), and migrant education funding (84.011A). The sub-award portfolio shows monthly or near-monthly award issuances from 2023 through September 2026, indicating recurring allocations tied to federal fiscal-year and program cycles.

Federal customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service anchors sixty-four of eighty-one total awards (79%), while the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for the remaining seventeen (21%). Combined dollars obligated across the entire portfolio total $811 thousand, reflecting the district's classification as a small rural school system. Award activity has accelerated recently — from one award in 2021 to twenty-seven in 2026 — driven by the sub-award reallocation cadence. The portfolio shows minimal recompete exposure: only one award completes in the next twenty-four months. Manvel operates almost exclusively as a sub-recipient (83% of awards), with direct prime grant relationships limited to the SRSA formula grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district does not hold federal contracts or serve as a prime contractor on contract vehicles.
