Stapleton Public Schools

Stapleton Public Schools operates as a federal grant recipient, primarily under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA 84.358) administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and receives sub-grant awards from the Nebraska Department of Education. The district is a non-profit public school organization headquartered in Stapleton, Nebraska, and has received $605 thousand in combined federal obligations across thirty awards over the past nineteen years, with all recent activity concentrated in formula grant and block grant funding streams rather than competitively awarded contracts.

The district's federal footprint is dominated by education and child nutrition grant work. As a prime recipient, Stapleton Public Schools has held five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, each running from July through September, with awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. As a sub-recipient, the district draws eleven sub-grant awards from the Nebraska Department of Education, spanning block grants, IDEA Part B (Special Education) base and non-public entitlements, IDEA CEIS (Comprehensive Early Intervening Services), and a School Mental Health Project award. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for nine awards in the source data, reflecting typical school district participation in federal meal and nutrition programs.

Customer concentration aligns tightly with the district's statutory funding streams. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education represents twenty awards (67% of the total), the Department of Agriculture nine awards (30%), and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services one award (3%), covering 100% of recent awards. Activity has been sporadic — one award per year in 2022 and 2023, then seven in 2024 and five in 2025 — reflecting the annual renewal cadence of formula grants rather than contract acquisition cycles. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure for the district's current grant portfolio.

The district operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient or sub-recipient and does not hold federal contracts or seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles. Accordingly, Stapleton Public Schools is not a source of subcontracting opportunity for federal contractors, nor does it engage in the competitive bidding environment typical of contract primes.
