Richfield School District

Richfield School District (Division 316, doing business as Richfield School), a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Richfield, Idaho, receives federal education and nutrition funding as a grant recipient (38% of recent awards as prime recipient) and as a sub-recipient of pass-through awards from the Idaho State Board of Education (62% of recent awards). The district does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles and operates exclusively in the federal grant ecosystem.

Richfield School's federal footprint spans three grantor agencies, all within the Department of Education and Department of Agriculture. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds the district's Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grants awarded annually on July 1, with most recent awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026), which runs as the district's direct prime relationship. The Food and Nutrition Service and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services supply the balance of funding through sub-awards routed via the Idaho State Board of Education. The top customer by award count is the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (27 awards), followed by the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (19 awards), accounting for 100% of the district's recent federal activity.

Sub-recipient work through the Idaho State Board of Education spans Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Special Education Grants to States, Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers, National School Lunch Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. The district has received multiple sub-awards in each program category, with heaviest concentration in nutrition programs (National School Lunch and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable) and Title I supplements. Recent sub-award activity peaked in 2023 and 2022, with the most recent sub-grants dated October through December 2024.

The district's combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $1 million. Activity shows declining volume: twelve awards in 2022, fourteen in 2023, seven in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, placing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The district's federal posture is entirely dependent-entity, receiving funds from state intermediaries and direct federal formula programs rather than competing for contracts or holding procurement vehicles.
