Preston School District 5

Preston School District 5, a U.S. government entity and Oklahoma-based local educational agency, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with subordinate nutritional-assistance funding flowing through state grant intermediaries. The district operates exclusively in the federal education and child-nutrition grant space; it does not hold federal contracts and does not compete for procurement vehicles.

Preston School District 5 is a public school district located in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, serving students in Preston, Oklahoma. The district's federal footprint consists entirely of direct grants from the Department of Education and sub-awards from the Oklahoma State Department of Education for child-nutrition programs. The district competes only as a prime recipient on formula grants and project grants; it does not subcontract federal work or sit on federal IDVs, GWACs, or schedules.

The district's grant portfolio spans three primary federal programs. Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a project grant providing revenue replacement for school districts educating federally connected children living on or near federal property or with parents in active military service, accounts for the largest share of awards — the most recent Impact Aid award of $162,178 was granted October 1, 2025, and runs through September 30, 2031. Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Education Agencies, a formula grant supporting Native American student education, appears as an annual award series. The Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant, appears in the portfolio as well. All three programs are administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district also receives nutrition-reimbursement sub-awards from the Oklahoma State Department of Education supporting child-nutrition services — four sub-awards between 2024 and June 2026 for meals provided through child-care centers, family day-care homes, and after-school programs.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Education accounts for 50 of 54 awards (93% of the footprint, 100% by funding value), and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 4 awards (7%, flowing through state-level administration). The district has received federal education grants continuously since 2007. Activity has remained steady at three to four awards per year over the past five years. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.4 million. Only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The district's federal grant strategy focuses on leveraging its status as a small, rural district serving federally connected and Native American students to access dedicated education-support and nutrition-reimbursement programs.
