Peetz Plateau School District Re-5

Peetz Plateau School District Re-5, doing business as Peetz Junior-Senior High School, is a U.S. local government school district located in Peetz, Colorado, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient in education and nutrition assistance programs. The district operates exclusively under federal grant funding; it holds no federal contracts and does not serve as a prime contractor on any contract vehicles.

The district's federal footprint is split evenly between prime grant awards (47% of recent activity) and sub-grant awards from the state (53%). On the prime side, Peetz Plateau School District has received annual formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with awards in July 2022, July 2023, July 2024, July 2025, and July 2026. These formula grants carry ultimate completion dates running September 30 of the following year. On the sub-recipient side, the district receives nutrition-assistance sub-awards flowing from the Colorado Board of Education as the state-level grantee. These sub-awards span multiple nutrition programs, including Nutrition Block allocations for fiscal years 2223, 2324, 2425, and 2526, as well as Summer EBT funding. Sub-awards are issued on a monthly or quarterly basis and are substantially more frequent than prime awards.

Customer concentration is complete and bimodal: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 20 awards (all nutrition sub-awards) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 18 awards (all Small, Rural School Achievement Program prime grants). The two agencies represent 100% of recent activity. Combined dollars obligated across all 38 awards total $496 thousand, indicating small individual award magnitudes typical of rural district funding. Award activity shows growth from one award per year in 2022 and 2023 to ten awards in 2024, dropping to eight in 2025 and five in 2026 year to date. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The district does not engage subcontractors; it operates as the end recipient of federal education and nutrition funding for K–12 school operations in rural northeastern Colorado.
