Sullivan County School District

Sullivan County School District, a local government school district based in Muncy Valley, Pennsylvania, acts as a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, receiving formula grants and sub-grants for K–12 education programs and child nutrition reimbursement. The district operates predominantly as a sub-recipient (79% of recent awards) of federal education and nutrition entitlements flowing through the Pennsylvania Department of Education, rather than as a direct prime awardee.

The district's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in two agencies. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 37 awards, predominantly meal and milk reimbursement entitlements under the National School Lunch Program and related child nutrition initiatives. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 32 awards, led by annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (awarded July 1, 2023; July 1, 2024; July 1, 2025; and July 1, 2026, with completion dates ranging through September 2027). Sub-awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Education supply funds for school meal reimbursement, supplemental Title I instruction for at-risk students, and comprehensive student services including technology access and digital literacy initiatives, with sub-awards also including American Rescue Plan Act emergency education recovery and summer enrichment funding from 2022–2023. A single award from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and one from the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services round out the agency set.

Activity has accelerated in recent years, growing from three awards in 2022 to a peak of twenty-two awards in 2025, with eleven awards through mid-2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The district's combined dollars obligated across all awards totals $5.4 million, reflecting the entitlement-grant and sub-grant structure characteristic of rural Pennsylvania school district federal funding. Sullivan County School District operates as a typical K–12 recipient jurisdiction under federal education and child nutrition programs, with no direct federal contracting or procurement activity; the district's federal relationship is receipt of formula grants and per-meal reimbursement flowing from the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
