Osage Hills Schools

Osage Hills Schools, a U.S. local government school district based in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, is a prime recipient of federal education grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, serving as the acting entity in formula-grant awards and holding a secondary sub-recipient role for nutrition and student-support pass-through funding from the Oklahoma Department of Education.

Osage Hills Schools operates exclusively as a grant recipient (82% of awards as prime recipient, 18% as sub-recipient), not as a federal contractor. The district has no contract vehicle presence and does not bid on federal procurements. The vendor holds no SBA designations; as a government entity, it competes in the recipient pool for education formula grants. The school district's federal footprint centers on two recurring Department of Education programs: the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) and the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. Both are congressionally mandated formula grants that flow directly to eligible local educational agencies without competitive procurement. The Indian Education program has funded cumulative awards of $163,371 (FY 2023), $171,687 (FY 2024), and $172,528 (FY 2025) to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. Activities funded include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services designed to help Native American students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage. The Small, Rural School Achievement Program has delivered parallel annual awards since fiscal year 2023. In its sub-recipient capacity, Osage Hills Schools receives pass-through nutrition and academic-enrichment funding from the Oklahoma Department of Education, including Child Nutrition Program reimbursements (dated October 2025 and June 2026), Title IV Part A funds under the Oklahoma Champions of Excellence Initiative (August 2024), Title I supplemental education funds (August 2024), and Title IV community-learning grants for arts, culture, and youth development (August 2024).

Customer concentration is narrowly consolidated: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 29 of 33 total awards; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 4 awards. Total federal dollars obligated across the three-decade source window is $2 million. Award velocity is modest and variable — ranging from two awards annually in 2022 and 2023 to five in 2024, then declining to four in 2025 and three in 2026 year to date. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore have recompete or renewal exposure. The source contains no indication of federal contracting partnerships, teaming arrangements, or sub-recipient relationships with for-profit vendors.
