Wilcox County School District

Wilcox County School District, Wilcox County Board Of Education Division operates as a U.S. local government entity and public school district based in Rochelle, Georgia. The district functions exclusively as a grant sub-recipient (100% of recent awards), receiving federal education and nutrition funding through pass-through grants awarded by the Georgia Department of Education and direct awards from the Rural Utilities Service. The district holds no federal contracts as a prime contractor and maintains no GWAC, BPA, or other contract vehicle seats.

The district's federal footprint centers entirely on K-12 education and child nutrition programs. Recent award activity spans 278 sub-awards across a thirteen-year window, with obligated funding totaling $17.3 million. Activity peaked in 2023 with 72 awards, declined to 30 in 2024, then recovered to 45 in 2025 and 31 through August 2026. The bulk of recent grants flow through the Georgia Department of Education as the prime grantee. Representative work includes National School Lunch Program and National School Breakfast Program sub-awards (recurring monthly throughout 2022–2026), Title I-A improving academic achievement of the disadvantaged grants, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B special education flow-through grants, Perkins V career and technical education professional development and program improvement grants, Title II-A supporting effective instruction grants, and Title IV student support and academic enrichment grants. The district also received Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) III and ESSER II sub-awards for school safety, technology, and staffing between 2022 and 2023. A single prime federal grant for distance learning was awarded by the Rural Utilities Service on August 26, 2025, with completion set for August 26, 2027.

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominates the customer concentration, accounting for 219 awards (79% of the 278-award portfolio) across National School Lunch and Breakfast Program variants and commercial warehouse storage reimbursements. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education follows with 34 awards covering Title I, Title II, Title IV, and Title V programs. The Department of Education's Office of Career Technical and Adult Education accounts for 8 awards, and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services covers 6 awards; these three Education sub-offices plus USDA FNS represent 96% of all recent awards. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.
