Rocketship Schools

Rocketship Schools, a non-profit education organization based in San Jose, California, operates as a federal grant sub-recipient only, with no prime contract or grant awards in recent federal activity. All four documented federal awards are sub-grant positions under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, totaling $1.8 million in combined obligations across 2023.

Rocketship Schools' federal footprint is narrow and singular. Four sub-grant awards issued January 1, 2023, all derive from the same prime grantee — the Department of Education California — and all support pandemic response and COVID-19 preparedness activities. The organization has not secured federal prime positions and maintains no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles, IDIQs, or agency BPAs. As a sub-recipient, Rocketship Schools operates entirely within the Department of Education ecosystem with no diversification across agencies or federal customers.

Activity ceased after 2023; no new federal awards have been issued to Rocketship Schools in the three and one-half years since the initial sub-grant awards. The combined potential value and award count suggest a limited federal engagement model focused on pandemic-response education programming rather than ongoing federal service delivery or contract competition. The organization does not appear in the federal prime contract space and has not pursued or won placement on government-wide vehicles that would signal federal-market business development momentum.
