Rosholt School District 54-4

Rosholt School District 54-4, a South Dakota public school district, receives federal formula grants and sub-grants for K–12 education and nutrition programs as a prime recipient and sub-recipient, operating entirely within the Department of Education and Department of Agriculture funding streams with no federal contracting activity.

Rosholt School District 54-4 is a U.S. government entity — a local school district headquartered in Rosholt, South Dakota — and does not hold SBA certifications or compete for federal contracts. The district's federal footprint consists exclusively of grant awards and sub-awards under elementary and secondary education programs. As a prime recipient, the district receives formula grants directly from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with awards issued on July 1 of each fiscal year through the period covered in the source (2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026). As a sub-recipient, Rosholt receives pass-through funding from the South Dakota Department of Education and the State of South Dakota for National School Lunch Program (NSLP) block grants, Title I Basic funding, Title II A REAP (Rural Education Achievement Program), Title IV programs, and Emergency Aid to Needy Schools (EANs GEER) awards. The district operates no federal contracts, task orders, or IDV vehicles.

Customer concentration is narrow and aligned with federal K–12 education and child nutrition mandates. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 21 of 31 total awards in the source data, and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 10 awards, covering 100% of the district's federal footprint. The district's role splits 45% prime recipient (14 awards) and 55% sub-recipient (17 awards), with sub-awards flowing predominantly through the South Dakota Department of Education as the intermediary state grantor.

Activity has been intermittent. Awards per year ranged from 1 to 8 over the five-year period 2022–2026, with eight awards in 2023 followed by a decline to three in 2024 and six in 2025. Total dollars obligated across all awards in the source data amount to $1.5 million. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The district's federal engagement is routine for a rural school district in its size and state posture — formula-grant distributions under ESSA Title programs and child nutrition initiatives, with no competitive procurement activity or federal contracting footprint.
