Nah TAH Wahsh Public School Academy

Nah TAH Wahsh Public School Academy, a tribally owned public school district based in Harris Township, Michigan, is a prime recipient of federal education grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, operating as a child entity of the Hannahville Indian Community, a federally recognized tribe.

Nah TAH Wahsh Public School Academy is an educational institution within a tribal government structure and holds minority-institution status. The parent entity, the Hannahville Indian Community, maintains SBA HUBZone certification (though expired as of June 2008). The academy does not hold federal contracts and competes exclusively in the federal grant space rather than procurement vehicles. Federal grant work centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA 84.358), a formula grant program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The academy has received five consecutive annual awards under this program dating from July 2022 through July 2026, with most recent grant awarded July 1, 2026 and completing September 30, 2027. The academy also receives sub-grants flowing through the Michigan Department of Education, including Title I, Part A funding (awarded February 14, 2025) and ARP ESSER III pandemic-recovery funds (awarded March 20, 2024); three additional sub-grant awards from MDE dating to June 2022 supported USDA program implementation in Michigan.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted to federal education funding. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 28 of 32 total awards in the portfolio, 100% coverage by award count. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and the Department of Education itself hold three and one awards respectively. The academy operates as a prime recipient on 84% of its awards (27 total) and as a sub-recipient on 16% (5 total), with sub-recipient work routed entirely through the Michigan Department of Education.

The award portfolio shows declining velocity in recent years, falling from four awards in 2022 to one in 2026, reflecting the cyclical nature of formula-grant distribution and the academy's consistent but not-growing federal funding footprint. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $1.6 million, reflecting the modest size of the institution and the formula-grant structure that distributes allocated funds rather than competitively sourced task orders. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term.
