Strasburg Public School District 15

Strasburg Public School District 15 (doing business as Strasburg Public School), a rural North Dakota school district based in Strasburg, operates as a federal grant recipient in education and nutrition programs, not as a federal contractor. The district acts as a prime recipient on direct formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient on pass-through nutrition and education grants flowing from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and the North Dakota Department of Human Services.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated in K–12 education and child nutrition assistance. As a prime recipient, Strasburg Public School received formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education in five consecutive years (July 2022 through July 2026), with ultimate completion dates rolling through September 2027. The district's sub-recipient work centers on National School Lunch Program (NSLP) free and reduced-price meals, NSLP paid meals, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), Title I grants, and a Rural Health Transformation Program sub-award from the North Dakota Department of Human Services. This work flows through the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and the Department of Human Services as administrative pass-through entities, with monthly or quarterly sub-award notices issued throughout 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Sub-awards cluster heavily around nutrition assistance (NSLP Free/Red, NSLP Paid, FFVP) and Title I education grants.

Customer concentration is tight and education-focused. Two agencies account for 100% of recent awards: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (42 awards, predominantly sub-awards for child nutrition programs) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (12 awards, split between direct prime formula grants and sub-awards for Title I). A single Department of Health and Human Services award accounts for the Rural Health Transformation Program sub-award. Combined dollars obligated across all 55 awards total $303 thousand, reflecting the pass-through, formula-grant nature of the funding — individual awards carry modest valuations typical of rural school district nutrition and Title I allocations. Activity has grown year over year, from one award in 2022 to twenty-two in 2026, driven by the monthly or quarterly cadence of nutrition sub-awards. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure for the district's current grant portfolio.
