Quillayute Valley School District NO. 402

Quillayute Valley School District NO. 402, a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Forks, Washington, receives federal grants as a sub-recipient under formula and competitive federal education and nutrition programs, with 65% of its recent awards flowing through state and local administrative pass-throughs rather than direct federal grants. The district does not hold federal contracts or compete under procurement vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based.

The district's grant funding concentrates in K–12 education and child nutrition programs. As a prime grant recipient, Quillayute Valley School District holds Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education on an annual basis from fiscal 2022 through 2026. As a sub-recipient, the district receives the bulk of its federal dollars through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, which distributes Title I, Part A; Title I, Part C (Migrant Education); Title IIA (Supporting Effective Instruction); Title III (English Language Acquisition); Title IV, Part A (Student Support and Academic Enrichment); Special Education IDEA Part B; and child nutrition reimbursement and administrative support, with sub-awards dating from 2023 onward. The district also receives sub-awards from the Washington State Health Care Authority for Prevention and Promotion Client Services, awarded in August 2026.

Customer concentration in the source data is dominated by the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (38 awards, 58% of the award count), followed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (17 awards, 26%), with the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition accounting for the remainder. This five-agency set covers 95% of recent awards.

Activity has accelerated significantly. The district recorded one award in 2022, ten in 2023, and twenty-two in 2024, with a slight moderation to ten awards in 2025 and four in 2026 through the most recent data point (August 24, 2026). Combined dollars obligated across all sixty-five awards total $7.7 million, reflecting the small-district and formula-grant character of the footprint. Only one award completes within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window.

The district's role is operational delivery of federally funded educational services to a Native American student population (Quillayute Indian Tribe territory) rather than contracting or third-party service provision to federal agencies. This posture is inconsistent with federal contractor business models and does not position the district as a subcontracting opportunity or teaming partner for defense or civilian federal IT, management, or professional-services contracts.
