Murchison Independent School District

Murchison Independent School District, doing business as Murchison Elementary School, is a U.S. local government entity and Texas school district that receives federal education formula grants and sub-awards from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Texas Education Agency, serving as prime recipient on small rural school achievement programs and sub-recipient on Title I supplemental funding and special education initiatives.

Murchison ISD is headquartered in Murchison, Texas, and operates exclusively in the education sector as a public school district. The vendor holds no federal contracts and competes in no set-aside categories; its federal footprint consists entirely of federal grant revenue flowing through education-focused funding streams. The district has received 41 awards spanning the past nineteen years, with a recent activity pattern showing 2 awards in 2026, 6 in 2025, 3 in 2024, 5 in 2023, and 4 in 2022. Combined obligation across all awards totals $2.4 million, reflecting the sub-million annual grant profile typical of rural school districts.

Customer concentration is narrow and specialized. The district serves 2 distinct federal agencies, with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounting for 36 of 41 awards (88% coverage). The remaining activity flows through the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. Murchison ISD holds a 46% prime recipient share and a 54% sub-recipient share, with the majority of federal dollars flowing through the Texas Education Agency as pass-through prime grantee. Prime recipient work centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with awards issued annually on July 1 across the past five fiscal years (most recent July 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2027). Sub-recipient grants include Title I, Part A supplemental funding for low-income student achievement, IDEA-B formula funding for special education services, Texas Strong Foundations Implementation (OER instructional materials and professional learning for teachers and administrators), and Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports (TCLAS). Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure through mid-2027.
