Ocosta School District

Ocosta School District (Ocosta SD Division, doing business as Ocosta Elementary School), a U.S. local government entity located in Westport, Washington, receives federal grants as a recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and subordinate offices to fund K–12 instruction, special education, and child nutrition programs. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not serve as a federal contractor; it operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with the majority of recent work (58% of awards by count) received as a direct prime recipient and the remainder as a sub-recipient flowing through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The district's federal grant portfolio concentrates almost entirely on Department of Education funding across four distinct customer offices. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) anchors the footprint with 48 awards, including Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) issued in fiscal years 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026—recurring annual awards with July 1 start dates and June 30 completion dates. The district also holds two Impact Aid Program grants (Title VII, Section 7003) issued by OESE in February 2023 and October 2023, both carrying ultimate completion dates of September 2028 and September 2029 respectively. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 21 awards, which the source describes as child nutrition program reimbursements and administrative support flowing to the district through the state superintendent's pass-through. The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and the Department of Education's general office contribute three and two awards respectively, centered on IDEA Part B and Title I funding streams passed through the state superintendency as sub-awards.

The district's activity trajectory shows episodic award volume—one award in 2022, fourteen in 2023, fifteen in 2024, six in 2025, and two in 2026—reflecting the annual or multi-year nature of education and nutrition grant cycles rather than a commercial contracting ramp. The combined dollar value obligated across all seventy-four awards totals $4.5 million. Looking forward, only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window. Recent sub-award work includes pass-through funding for the ESEA Consolidated Grant Application (CFDA not specified), Special Education IDEA Part B (Section 611), Title I Part A, Title IIA Supporting Effective Instruction, Student Support and Academic Enrichment programs, and ongoing child nutrition program reimbursements from the state superintendent as the pass-through intermediary. The district's federal footprint reflects a classic rural or small-district education funding profile—steady-state formula and impact-aid grants from OESE, supplemented by nutrition and special education allocation from state-level intermediaries, with no commercial contracting activity.
