Marshall Academy

Marshall Academy, a public school district in Marshall, Michigan, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and acts as a sub-recipient of federal funds passed through the Michigan Department of Education from the Departments of Education and Agriculture.

Marshall Academy is a U.S. local government entity and school district, not a federal contractor. The vendor operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem rather than the federal contract market. The organization has received forty-seven federal awards spanning 2007 to July 2026, with forty percent of recent activity concentrated in the prime-recipient role and sixty percent as a sub-recipient. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.6 million, reflecting the modest scale of a rural district.

As a prime recipient, Marshall Academy holds five consecutive annual awards from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grant), with awards dated July 1 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. These awards run on a twelve-month cycle, with ultimate completion dates in September of the following fiscal year. The most recent prime award (July 1, 2026, completing September 30, 2027) lies within the next twenty-four months, representing one recompete risk for the district.

As a sub-recipient, Marshall Academy receives federal pass-through funds from the Michigan Department of Education spanning three distinct federal programs: Title I, Part A (supporting disadvantaged children to meet academic standards); USDA nutrition and food-service programs; and Department of Energy programs. Sub-awards cluster in the 2022–2026 window, with sixteen distinct sub-award line items captured in the source data, reflecting ongoing participation in state-administered federal education and nutrition funding streams. Sub-awards support disadvantaged-student programs, various USDA initiatives in Michigan, American Rescue Plan Act fiscal recovery funds, and DOE program implementation.

Customer concentration is binary. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for thirty-four awards (72% of all awards), while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for thirteen awards (28%). The vendor serves no other federal agencies. Award frequency has been modest and uneven — ranging from three to eight awards per year over the past five years — reflecting the formulaic nature of school-district federal grant participation and the dependence on state pass-through timing.
