Valentine High School

Valentine High School, a U.S. local government school district based in Valentine, Nebraska, receives federal grant sub-awards as a sub-recipient from the Department of Education Nebraska (acting as the prime grantee on pass-through federal funding), with supplementary sub-award activity from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The district does not hold direct federal contracts or contract IDVs and does not serve as a prime grant recipient; all 35 awards in the footprint are sub-awards routed through state or federal intermediaries.

The district's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in education and nutrition programming. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominates the volume, accounting for 24 awards (likely Title I Part A basic grants and child nutrition programs distributed through state passthrough mechanisms), while the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 9 awards, including Title I Part A basic grants to local educational agencies and Nebraska's AWARE-SEA Project 2.0. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services each account for one award. Combined obligated dollars across all 35 sub-awards total $1.2 million, reflecting the relatively modest scale of a rural Nebraska school district's federal funding stream.

Activity has been episodic and concentrated in recent years. The district received one award in 2013 and one in 2014, then no recorded activity until 2024, when ten awards arrived. Activity accelerated to twelve awards in 2025 and five awards so far in 2026 (through June), indicating that either historical awards were not fully captured in earlier source data or recent federal pass-through mechanisms have expanded the district's participation. All sub-awards from 2024 onward carry award dates clustered around the start of federal fiscal years and calendar months (January, March, May, July, September, December, matching typical education grant disbursement cycles), with the most recent sub-awards dated June 2026. As a sub-recipient without prime contracting capacity or IDV positions, the district has no recompete exposure, vehicle leverage, or direct teaming relationships to surface in competitive intelligence.
