Tri County Coop

Tri County Coop is a Montana-based non-profit organization operating exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal education grants, with no prime contract or grant awards in recent activity. The vendor has received three sub-award allocations from the Montana Office of Public Instruction under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B program (CFDA 84.027), with awards dated July 1, 2023, July 1, 2024, and October 31, 2025, totaling $246 thousand obligated across the three years. All three awards flow from the same federal grantor — the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services — making customer concentration 100% tied to a single education funding stream and grantee relationship.

Tri County Coop's federal footprint is narrow in scope and volume. The vendor operates at a sub-recipient scale under IDEA Part B, which funds special education and related services for students with disabilities. The organization receives annual or periodic sub-awards from Montana's state education agency but has not pursued or been awarded direct federal prime contracts, IDIQs, or primary grant awards. Activity is flat year over year at one award per calendar year, with combined potential value remaining under $250 thousand across the three-year window. The sub-recipient posture and education-program focus position Tri County Coop as a pass-through entity for IDEA funds within Montana's special education delivery system rather than as a federal contractor or grant management operation.
