About the company
Tacoma Public Schools, operating as Tacoma School District #10, is a U.S. local government school district based in Tacoma, Washington, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient across education and child nutrition programs. The district does not pursue federal contracts; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based, split between direct awards from the Department of Education and sub-awards from the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The district's prime grant portfolio centers on three core areas. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds literacy and community engagement initiatives under CFDA 84.215 (Innovative Approaches to Literacy and related programs), including a $500,000 Maritime Skills Center Program Development grant awarded July 2026 (performance through July 2029), a $648,000 "Tacoma Beyond the Bell" project completed in August 2024, and a $555,000 Tacoma Professional Pipeline Project completed in August 2024. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education also awards formula grants under CFDA 84.060 (Indian Education Grants to LEAs) to support culturally responsive instruction and professional development for American Indian and Alaska Native students; the district has received these awards annually, with amounts ranging from $236,521 to $271,312 per fiscal year. The EPA Region 10 awarded a cooperative agreement in October 2024 (completed May 2025) supporting the Larchmont Community Schoolyard project, which transformed school grounds into green space for environmental education and community health outcomes, with sub-awards to the Trust for Public Land and the South End Neighborhood Council. The district also holds a Head Start project grant from the Office of Head Start (September 2024 through August 2029).
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Education. The top five funding agencies account for 95% of recent awards, with the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education alone driving 70 awards, followed distantly by the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (22 awards), the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (9 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (3 and 2 awards respectively). The district's sub-award volume substantially exceeds prime awards — 77 sub-awards (69% of total) flow through the Superintendent of Public Instruction as the pass-through entity, covering IDEA Part B special education, Title I reading and math instruction, Title III English language acquisition, McKinney-Vento homelessness services, school improvement, and child nutrition reimbursement programs. Award activity peaked in 2023 with 36 awards and has moderated since, with 33 awards in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 5 through mid-2026, reflecting annual formula-grant cycles and project-grant completion dates. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term.
