Springtown Independent School District

Springtown Independent School District, a public school district headquartered in Springtown, Texas, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, receiving 56 awards totaling $15.4 million in obligated federal funding since 2022. The district does not hold prime contracts, IDVs, or BPAs; all federal work flows through pass-through grants from the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Department of Agriculture, making it a local implementer of federal education and child nutrition programs rather than a federal vendor or contractor.

The district's customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Education. The top five funding sources account for 95% of recent awards, dominated by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (34 awards) and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (10 awards), with the Office of Career Technical and Adult Education, the Office of English Language Acquisition, and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service providing the remainder. This concentration reflects the district's role as a local educational agency (LEA) receiving formula grants and targeted federal education funding rather than competing for discretionary procurements.

Springtown's federal grant portfolio centers on K-12 instructional support, special education, and student services. Representative work includes IDEA-B Formula grants (ages 3–21 special education, recurring annually since at least 2022), Title I, Part A grants for improving basic programs in schools with high-poverty concentrations, Title II, Part A for improving teacher and principal quality, Title III, Part A for English learner proficiency, and Title IV, Part A for student support and academic enrichment. The district also receives Effective Advising Framework (EAF) implementation grants supporting career and technical education pathway development, Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act funding, and Title I 1003 school improvement grants for comprehensive support and improvement schools. Two recent awards (December 2024) are National School Lunch Program equipment grants. A December 2025 sub-award for the Improved Cyber Resilience Through Mitigation project involves procurement and implementation of next-generation firewalls for district network defense.

Activity has remained relatively stable at 12 to 15 awards per year from 2023 through 2025, with only two awards recorded in the current 2026 data window. All work is administered through pass-through grants from state intermediaries, primarily the Texas Education Agency, which means Springtown has no direct federal customer relationship and competes under no set-aside category. The district's federal footprint is fundamentally different from commercial vendors: it receives entitlement and formula funding to implement statutory federal education programs for its own students and staff, not to deliver goods or services to other federal customers.
