White Lake School District No 13

White Lake School District No 13, a U.S. local government school district headquartered in White Lake, South Dakota, is a recipient of federal formula grants for elementary and secondary education administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and a sub-recipient of federal education and nutrition programs distributed through the South Dakota Department of Education.

White Lake School District operates as a public K–12 school entity — doing business as White Lake Elementary School - 02 — with no prime federal contracting footprint and no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles. The district's federal funding derives entirely from grants, split between prime recipient status (54% of recent awards) and sub-recipient status (46%), with no commercial vendor relationship to federal agencies. The district does not bid on federal contracts or compete under set-asides.

The district's primary federal customer is the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 26 of 35 awards across the sourced period. The district is a repeated prime recipient of the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant distributed by OESE, with awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, each running from July through September of the following fiscal year. The district also receives federal education funding as a sub-recipient from the South Dakota Department of Education, the state-level pass-through grantee for Title I Basic, Title IV, Title IIA REAP, IDEA Part B Flowthrough, and Elevating Literacy programs. Secondary federal customer relationships run through the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (7 sub-awards for National School Lunch Program block grant claims, dated 2023 through 2025) and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (2 awards). Combined dollars obligated across the full award footprint total $902 thousand. Recent sub-recipient work includes NSLP block grant claims for October 2025–September 2026, Title I and Title IV allocations, and IDEA Part B flowthrough funds, all distributed by the state education department as the federal pass-through entity. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window.
