Schoolcraft Community College District

Schoolcraft Community College District, a Michigan-based public educational institution in Livonia, serves the federal government as a prime recipient of federal grants and cooperatives agreements focused on procurement technical assistance and workforce development, and as a facilities lessor providing law enforcement training infrastructure. The college operates as a tax-exempt corporate entity and does not hold federal prime contracts; its federal footprint consists of 42 prime awards (78% of total activity) and 12 sub-awards, predominantly federal grants and cooperative agreements rather than contracts.

The college's primary capability centers on two distinct lines of work. First, Schoolcraft operates an APEX Accelerator center under the Procurement Technical Assistance Program (CFDA 12.002), a cooperative agreement from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, to deliver free counseling, training, and technical guidance to U.S. businesses of all sizes—including newly established and minority-owned firms—navigating federal, state, and local government contracting. Schoolcraft has held consecutive cooperative agreement awards under this program: a $905,090 award running April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027; a fiscal 2025 cooperative agreement through March 31, 2026; and a fiscal 2024 award through May 25, 2025. Second, the college operates an indoor firing range facility in Brownstown Charter Township, Michigan, under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP), valued at $634,920 with ultimate completion April 30, 2029. The facility supports CBP weapons and less-than-lethal law enforcement training, featuring a 25-yard indoor range with 6 to 10 firing lanes, equipment cleaning space, classroom seating for 10 personnel, and restrooms. Additionally, Schoolcraft received a project grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (October 1, 2023, through March 31, 2025) to deliver Industry 4.0 workforce training in mechatronics, robotics, and automation to Wayne County residents, with students earning both college credits and Smart Automation Certification Alliance credentials.

Customer concentration is fragmented across federal agencies. The Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection dominates by potential value ($890 thousand across 10 awards, predominantly the firing-range BPA), while the Department of Education's Office of Career Technical and Adult Education leads by award count (11 awards). The Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation collectively account for smaller-dollar work. Schoolcraft also receives federal grant sub-awards, primarily through the Michigan Department of Education as pass-through recipient under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins V) and other Department of Education programs.

Recent activity shows modest volume—three awards in 2026, two in 2025, three in 2024—with only one award facing recompete in the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value across all 54 awards is $970 thousand, but the source reports $51.5 million in combined dollars obligated, indicating that actual funding received substantially exceeds listed potential values, likely due to multi-year cooperative agreement and contract renewals with cumulative obligation histories. Schoolcraft holds a position on a CBP Blanket Purchase Agreement (HSBP1013A00064) with six task orders valued at $44 thousand. The college's sub-award work flows through the Michigan Department of Education and includes support for various Department of Education programs and Perkins V career and technical education initiatives.
