Scotts Bluff County School District 2

Minatare Public Schools, the Minatare Public Schools Division of Scotts Bluff County School District 2, is a Nebraska-based tax-exempt educational institution that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient, with no federal contracting activity. The district operates as a non-profit organization and Hispanic Servicing Institution located in Minatare, Nebraska, and is DOT certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.

Minatare Public Schools' federal footprint consists entirely of education grants administered through two principal federal agencies. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (within the Department of Education) provides Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants as direct prime awards; the district received such grants on July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, with the most recent award (July 1, 2026) running through September 30, 2027. The district also receives sub-grant funding routed through the Department of Education Nebraska, the state pass-through entity, which distributes Title I Basic Grants to Local Education Agencies, Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies, Title IV (21st Century Community Learning Centers), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funding, and Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI) and Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) allocations. A single sub-award cites a School Mental Health Project, awarded November 4, 2022. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service also places funding awards with the district, likely representing child nutrition and meal program support.

Customer concentration is highly concentrated across just three federal agencies. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 28 awards of the 53-award total; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 24 awards; and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 1 award. Minatare operates predominantly as a sub-recipient (34 of 53 awards, or 64%), receiving pass-through funding from state intermediaries rather than as a direct prime grantee (19 awards, or 36%). Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.1 million, reflecting the modest scale of a small rural school district. Recent sub-award activity accelerated in 2024 (16 awards) and 2025 (13 awards) but moderated to 6 awards in the year-to-date 2026 period. One award is scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window.
