Town Of Baileyville

Town Of Baileyville, operating as the Baileyville Fire Dept through its Baileyville School Department division, is a U.S. local government entity in Baileyville, Maine that receives federal education and nutrition grants as a sub-recipient (89% of recent awards) from the Maine Department of Education, which acts as the pass-through entity for federal formula grants and categorical assistance programs. The organization operates entirely in the grant space, with no federal contracts, contract vehicles, or prime contracting presence.

The Baileyville School Department's federal footprint concentrates heavily on K-12 nutrition and special education programs flowing through Maine's education agency. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service anchors the award portfolio, accounting for 43 of 65 total awards and funding school lunch programs, free and reduced-price meal initiatives, and fresh fruit and vegetable distribution under the National School Lunch Program and related commodity assistance channels. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education provides 17 awards directed toward teacher quality, school improvement in high-poverty settings, and well-rounded education initiatives; the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services contributes 5 awards supporting special education services and related services for children from birth through age twenty. All three customer agencies deliver funds exclusively through the Maine Department of Education as the state grantee, making the school department a sub-recipient on every award in the source data.

Baileyville's own prime grant footprint is minimal: three Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education with award dates of July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026. The most recent prime award (July 1, 2026) extends to September 30, 2027. Combined obligated dollars across all 65 awards total $2 million. Activity has been episodic — one award in 2021, eleven in 2023, a spike to thirty-four in 2024, then thirteen in 2025 and two in 2026 — reflecting the timing of Maine Department of Education grant distributions to local school districts rather than competitive procurement cycles. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months, suggesting limited recompete urgency in the immediate pipeline. Baileyville does not compete for contracts and holds no positions on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs; its federal role is confined to administering and spending nutrition and special education assistance directed to schools serving economically disadvantaged students.
