Northcentral Learning Res Center

Northcentral Learning Res Center is a Montana school district operating as a U.S. government entity that receives federal education funding as a sub-recipient under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B grant program. The organization does not hold prime contracts or prime grant awards; all three of its recent federal transactions are sub-awards flowing through the Montana Office of Public Instruction as the direct grantee from the U.S. Department of Education.

Northcentral Learning Res Center's federal footprint consists entirely of IDEA Part B sub-awards (CFDA 84.027) dated July 1, 2023, July 1, 2024, and October 31, 2025, with a combined obligation of $1.3 million across the three awards. All funding originates from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. The organization functions as a subordinate recipient within Montana's IDEA grant administration structure, meaning it receives allocations from the state grantee but does not directly negotiate with or report to the federal grantor. Activity has remained stable at one award per fiscal year over the past three years, with the most recent sub-award issued on October 31, 2025.

As a school district, Northcentral Learning Res Center is ineligible for prime federal contracting vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, GSA Schedules) and does not appear on any of those instruments. Its role is confined to providing special education services and programs funded through Montana's allocation of federal IDEA Part B dollars. The organization operates within the traditional K–12 education sub-award structure and does not pursue or hold commercial federal contracts.
