Public Schools Of Petoskey

Public Schools Of Petoskey, a U.S. local government entity and public school district based in Petoskey, Michigan, operates as a federal grant recipient, not a federal contractor. The district acts as a prime recipient on direct formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and as a sub-recipient on pass-through grants from the Michigan Department of Education that distribute federal funds from the Department of Education, the Department of Agriculture, and other federal agencies to support K–12 education programs.

The district's federal footprint centers on two customer agencies. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 54 of 72 total awards in the source data; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 18 awards. This 100% coverage concentration reflects a highly specialized grant profile: the district does not pursue or hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. Instead, 72% of the district's awards are sub-awards — pass-through grants received from the Michigan Department of Education — while 28% are prime federal grants.

As a prime recipient, Public Schools Of Petoskey holds Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) from OESE. The district received consecutive annual awards on July 1 each year from 2022 through 2026, with each running a twelve-month performance period ending June 30 of the following year. The most recent prime award is dated July 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for June 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient through the Michigan Department of Education as prime grantee, the district receives funding to support Title I, Part A (aid to disadvantaged students); Title IV, Part A (well-rounded education and school conditions); teacher and principal quality and effectiveness improvement programs; USDA child nutrition and food service programs; and pandemic-recovery programs including American Rescue Plan ESSER III funds and Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund allocations. Sub-award activity has accelerated in recent years — seven awards in 2022, five in 2023, seven in 2024, seventeen in 2025, and nine through mid-2026 — reflecting increased pass-through grant activity from the state education agency. Combined obligated dollars across all prime and sub awards total $18 million over the source period. Only one award is scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Public Schools Of Petoskey does not maintain active federal contract vehicles, prime contracting relationships, or teaming arrangements with federal contractors. The district's role is exclusively as a recipient institution executing federally funded K–12 education, nutrition, and pandemic-recovery programs under grants administered by the state.
