Rock Creek Schools

Rock Creek Schools, a state-controlled educational institution headquartered in Bokchito, Oklahoma, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient focused on K-12 education and student nutrition programs delivered through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.

Rock Creek Schools operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem rather than as a contract prime or subcontractor on procurement vehicles. The vendor holds 50 prime grant awards (64% of total awards) and participates as a sub-recipient on 28 federal grant sub-awards (36%), with all work flowing through federal education and nutrition grant programs. Prime awards include recurring formula and project grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education: Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs, Small Rural School Achievement Program (formula grants running July to September annually), and Impact Aid Program Title VII Section 7003 awards (project grants with multi-year performance periods extending through 2031). Representative recent prime awards include a Small Rural School Achievement Program formula grant (Award Date Jul 1, 2026, ultimate completion Jun 30, 2027) and an Impact Aid Program Title VII Section 7003 project grant (Award Date Oct 1, 2025, ultimate completion Sep 30, 2031). As a sub-recipient, Rock Creek Schools receives pass-through funding from the Oklahoma Department of Education and the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education for child nutrition reimbursement programs (National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program reimbursements) and vocational education grants; sub-award activity is concentrated in 2024 and includes monthly nutrition reimbursement sub-awards and vocational education basic grants from state prime grantees.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education anchors 48 of 78 total awards; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 24 awards; and three other customer organizations (Department of Education itself, the Office of Career Technical and Adult Education, and the Rural Housing Service Community Facilities program) account for 4 combined awards — representing 100% of the award portfolio. Federal funding has accelerated sharply: 2 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, and 23 in 2024, followed by a slowdown to 5 in 2025 and 3 in 2026. Only 2 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the immediate term; most Impact Aid Program project grants do not complete until 2028–2031. Rock Creek Schools' federal footprint reflects a rural Oklahoma school district's dependence on categorical education grants and nutritional assistance for eligible student populations, with no procurement contracting history and no participation on federal contract vehicles.
