School Board Of Brevard County

School Board Of Brevard County, a U.S. local government and school district entity headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, operates as a federal grant recipient (79% of recent awards are sub-awards from state intermediaries) with minimal federal prime contracting activity — two small firm fixed price purchases totaling $105 thousand from the U.S. Air Force Air Education and Training Command in 2023, and a single-award BPA with that command valued at $150 thousand running through May 2028. The district does not hold positions on government-wide contract vehicles and competes exclusively in unrestricted federal grant programs channeled through Florida state agencies.

Brevard County's federal footprint is dominated by sub-recipient grant work distributed across Education Department programs and U.S. Department of Agriculture child nutrition initiatives. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 77 sub-awards, primarily under Impact Aid (Title VII, Section 7003, CFDA 84.041) running through 2031, with annual payments of $531 thousand awarded October 1, 2025, to support school districts with federally connected children living on or employed at federal property. The district also receives WIOA Title I and II funding for adult education and literacy, Title I Part A allocations for low-income schools, special education (IDEA Part B) funding, English Language Learner support, 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) grants for afterschool programs, and Perkins V career and technical education funding — all distributed through the Florida Department of Education. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service channels 46 sub-awards for child nutrition: the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), all flowing through the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. Head Start funding (CFDA 93.600) arrived as a July 1, 2022 project grant from the Office of Head Start with performance through June 30, 2027. Most significantly, NASA's Shared Services Center awarded the district $2.017 million on July 15, 2026, under Congressionally Directed Programs (CFDA 43.014) to develop and implement a comprehensive aviation assembly and fabrication program for high school students integrating aerospace science, engineering design, and hands-on manufacturing skills, running through July 14, 2027.

The two Air Force prime contracts reflect marginal federal procurement engagement: a $17,536 firm fixed price BPA call on September 12, 2023, for installation of miscellaneous equipment at Lackland Air Force Base, and an $87,680 purchase order awarded August 28, 2023, for USAF/USSF recruitment banners. The BPA underlying these calls ($150 thousand potential value) specifies procurement of 16 banners measuring 8 feet by 4 feet with installation services, running through May 31, 2028. No set-asides or subcontracting requirements applied to these awards.

Activity has accelerated sharply — three awards in 2022 to 63 in 2024 — though this reflects state pass-through grant award velocity rather than prime federal procurement growth. Only two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. The district's obligated dollars ($638.8 million across all awards) substantially exceed combined potential value ($450 thousand), a profile consistent with multi-year grant programs that accumulate annual appropriations across reporting periods. Brevard Schools Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit subsidiary, is named in the corporate structure but carries no identified federal award footprint in the source data. The district's federal engagement pattern reflects standard K-12 public education posture: primary reliance on Education Department grants for operational and programmatic support, USDA child nutrition pass-throughs, and occasional small-dollar facility or supply procurement from regional military commands.
