Round Top Carmine ISD

Round Top Carmine ISD, operating as Round Top-Carmine High School, is a rural Texas school district that receives federal formula grants as a prime grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with no federal contracting footprint.

The entity is a U.S. government school district based in Carmine, Texas, structured as a local government unit. All 22 awards in the source data derive from a single federal customer — the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — spanning formula-grant assistance for rural and low-income student support programs over the past nineteen years. Round Top Carmine ISD holds prime recipient status on five Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants, awarded annually on July 1 cycles from 2022 through 2026, with each running through the following September 30. The district also holds sub-recipient status on two Title I, Part A awards from the Texas Education Agency, the state pass-through grantee, both dated August 1, 2024, supporting supplemental instruction for schools serving high concentrations of low-income students.

The district's federal funding footprint is modest in dollar magnitude and stable in cadence. Combined federal obligations across all 22 awards total approximately $806 thousand over the award history in the source. Annual award volume has fluctuated — one award each in 2022, 2023, and 2025; three in 2024; one in 2026 — reflecting the cyclical nature of formula-grant allocations tied to rural-school enrollment and poverty-concentration metrics rather than competitive bidding. The district's recompete exposure is low: one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (the 2025 Small, Rural School Achievement Program award completing September 30, 2026), after which the July 1, 2026 award (completing September 30, 2027) becomes the active grant period.

Round Top Carmine ISD has no federal contracting activity, no position on government-wide acquisition vehicles or BPAs, and no subcontracting engagement with federal contractors. The entity's federal footprint is entirely educational-assistance grant funding administered through Department of Education formula channels. This profile is characteristic of rural school districts eligible for federal equity and achievement-gap support but outside the federal procurement ecosystem.
