Spencer Valley School District

Spencer Valley School District Spencer Valley Elementary School District Division, a U.S. local government school district based in Julian, California, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program as a prime grant recipient.

Spencer Valley Elementary operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor; the source carries no federal contract prime awardees or contract vehicle participation. The district's federal footprint consists entirely of Department of Education funding through a single grantor agency. Over the past five years, Spencer Valley Elementary has received one award annually (2022 through 2025) and two awards in 2026, for a total of six recent Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants. Combined dollars obligated across the entire award history in the source reach $383 thousand. The most recent award, a Sub Grant Award for August 31, 2026, targets improved student academic achievement through teacher and principal quality enhancements and increased placement of highly qualified teachers in classrooms. Prior annual formula grants under the same program carry July 1 award dates, with ultimate completion dates of September 30 in their respective fiscal years; the source names awards from July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026.

Spencer Valley Elementary holds a 97% prime-recipient posture across the federal award base, with a single sub-award (3%) accounting for the remainder. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district's singular customer agency relationship and narrow grant-program focus distinguish this entity as a typical small rural school recipient rather than a vendor with diversified federal service lines. Business development professionals at federal contractors evaluating partnerships, teaming arrangements, or sub-award opportunities with Spencer Valley Elementary should recognize the district as an end-user organization — a K–12 educational institution — rather than a federal services provider or supplier.
