Spray School District 1

Spray School District 1, a local government entity headquartered in Spray, Oregon, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from the Oregon Department of Education, funding K–12 academic programs and student support services in a rural school setting. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem.

Spray School District 1 derives nearly all recent federal funding from education-focused grants. As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with most recent awards dated July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2027 respectively. As a sub-recipient, the district has received forty-one pass-through grant sub-awards from the Oregon Department of Education spanning multiple programs: Title 1 Part A/D Basic Grants to LEAs, Supporting Effective Instruction (State Grants), Student Support and Academic Enrichment, IDEA Part B (sections 611 and 619), Lead Testing of Drinking Water for Schools, the National School Lunch Program Equipment grants, Rural School Library Revitalization, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funds. The district's award portfolio spans sixty total awards across the past five years, with combined dollars obligated at $897 thousand. Prime awards account for 32% of the portfolio (19 awards); sub-awards constitute 68% (41 awards). Activity has remained flat at five to eight awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with only one award (combined potential value unspecified) completing within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term.

The district's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services account for 100% of awards by the source's categorization — forty-nine awards and nine awards respectively — with single awards from the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10. All sub-awards flow through the Oregon Department of Education as the pass-through grantee, making state administrative infrastructure central to the district's federal funding flow. The district does not compete for contracts or sit on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is grant-recipient only, with no prime contracting history and no subcontracting relationships on federal contracts.
