Tres Pinos Union Elementary School

Tres Pinos Union Elementary School, a public school district entity headquartered in Hollister, California, acts as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, receiving formula grants through the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. The district is a U.S. government entity classified as a local government school district; it does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a vendor selling services or goods to the federal government.

Tres Pinos Union Elementary School's federal footprint consists entirely of Department of Education grant work under a single program. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded the district nineteen formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program since 2007, accounting for 95% of the district's recent award activity. These grants fund initiatives to increase student academic achievement through strategies including teacher and principal quality improvement and expanding the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom. The district received annual awards on July 1 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with each award covering a fifteen-month performance period ending September 30 of the following year. The most recent award, issued July 1, 2026, carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027.

Award activity has remained consistent at approximately one award per year through the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all twenty awards totaling $373 thousand. The district serves a single federal customer — the Department of Education — and has no federal contract experience, no parent vehicles, and no teaming relationships with other federal contractors. One sub-grant award, issued August 31, 2026, appears in the source but remains uncharacterized by dollar value or recipient entity. With only one award carrying an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, recompete exposure is minimal. This entity functions as an end-recipient school district rather than a federal vendor or contractor; it is relevant to federal-contractor business development only in contexts involving school-district subgrants, K–12 education ecosystem partnerships, or grant-funded subcontracting opportunities within rural school improvement initiatives.
