Marine Area Community School

Marine Area Community School River Grove Division, doing business as River Grove, is a tax-exempt nonprofit educational institution in Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota, that receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

River Grove operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime awards or subcontract positions in its footprint. The vendor's entire federal award portfolio consists of six Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, spanning July 2022 through July 2026, with a combined obligated value of $214 thousand. Activity has remained flat at one award per year across the five-year window. The most recent grant award dates to July 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. One award reaches completion within the next twenty-four months (ultimate completion date September 30, 2025). The vendor has served a single customer agency throughout this period and does not appear in any parent vehicle (GWAC, BPA, IDIQ) capacity.

As a rural school serving the federal grant stream rather than the federal contracting market, River Grove does not compete for contracts, does not hold set-aside certifications, and does not engage in prime or subcontract work. The federal footprint is confined to formula-grant funding for elementary and secondary education operations under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program.
