San Joaquin County Office Of Education

San Joaquin County Office Of Education, a U.S. local government entity and school district headquartered in Stockton, California, is a federal grant recipient that delivers early childhood education, workforce development, and school safety programming to low-income youth and families as a prime recipient (58% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient of state pass-through grants (42%).

San Joaquin County Office Of Education's federal footprint is anchored in early childhood and youth employment services funded by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor. The organization received a $42.54 million Head Start Project Grant (CFDA 93.600) from HHS's Office of Head Start awarded February 1, 2026, with performance through January 31, 2031, providing comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services for low-income children and families across San Joaquin County. The organization also holds a $1.196 million YouthBuild San Joaquin grant (CFDA 17.259) from DOL's Employment and Training Administration, awarded June 1, 2023, with completion by September 30, 2026, serving 52 at-risk youth ages 16 to 24 through academic instruction, occupational skills training, community service learning, and direct-entry agreements with local Laborers and Carpenters unions for job placement. A third prime grant—a $500 thousand Project Grant from the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (CFDA 16.710) awarded October 1, 2022—funds school violence prevention and security improvements through September 2025.

The organization's recent award concentration sits with education and workforce agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 66% of awards, led by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (29 awards), the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (26 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value), the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (12 awards), the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (9 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (9 awards). A significant proportion of the organization's award count—54 sub-grants (42% of all awards)—flows through the California Department of Education and Department of Social Services as pass-through entities, including sub-awards for Title I school improvement, special education services (IDEA), child care development block grants, COVID-19 pandemic relief, homeless youth education, English learner support, and community learning centers. The organization also receives sub-grants from Concord Consortium Inc. and Youthbuild Global, Inc. supporting STEM professional development and low-income housing construction.

Award activity has grown year over year, from one award in 2022 to 18 in 2024, with 17 awards placed in 2025 and nine awards year-to-date in 2026. Two parent vehicles dominate the organizational footprint: Basic Ordering Agreement GS09B02088 (38 task orders, $3 million combined potential value) and Basic Ordering Agreement GS09B01717 (12 task orders, $281 thousand combined potential value), both tied to GSA public buildings real-estate services. Only one award faces completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The organization's recent footprint reflects education and human services delivery at the county and sub-county level, with no direct federal contracting for IT, engineering, or professional services work.
