Tintic School District

Tintic School District, a U.S. local government entity based in Eureka, Utah, receives federal education and child nutrition funding as a grant recipient (83% of recent awards) and sub-recipient routed through the Utah State Board of Education and the Department of Agriculture. The district does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; its federal footprint consists entirely of education grants, child nutrition assistance, and special education awards flowing from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service.

The district's federal funding is concentrated in two customer agencies. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 57 awards (50% of the portfolio), anchored in school meal programs — the National School Lunch Program (free, reduced, and paid), School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Day Care Program meals, Special Milk Program, and After School Program reimbursements, flowing to Tintic as sub-awards from the Utah State Board of Education. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 38 awards (33% of the portfolio), dominated by Title I-A flow-through funding and the recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant, which Tintic receives as prime recipient with ultimate completion dates on annual cycles (July 1 award date, September 30 completion). The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services contributes 17 awards (15% of the portfolio), primarily Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) flow-through formula allocations and Preschool Special Education grants, also routed as sub-awards from the state board. An additional one award each from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service and a sub-award from the Executive Office of State of Utah for American Rescue Plan emergency funding round out the portfolio.

As a prime recipient, Tintic has held the Small, Rural School Achievement Program award consistently since at least 2022, with awards issued annually on July 1 and ultimate completion dates of September 30 each fiscal year (most recent prime award: July 1, 2026, completing September 30, 2027). The vast majority of funding — 95 awards totaling the balance of the $965 thousand portfolio — flows through sub-awards, particularly monthly and quarterly meal reimbursements and formula allocations from the Utah State Board of Education. Activity surged in 2024 (51 awards) and remained elevated in 2025 (27 awards), reflecting increased monthly distribution cycles for school meal funding; 2026 activity is tracking lower (9 awards as of mid-August) within the annual window. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months shows only one award approaching completion, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Tintic's federal footprint is narrow and stable — a small rural school district receiving statutory formula funding for K-12 education, special education, and federally subsidized child nutrition programs.
