Wolf Creek School District 13

Wolf Creek School District 13, a rural public K-12 school district headquartered in Wolf Creek, Montana, receives federal funding as a prime recipient of U.S. Department of Education grants supporting K-12 education and student achievement in small, rural schools. The district operates as a U.S. state government entity and holds no federal contracts; all federal activity is grant-funded.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Wolf Creek serves as prime recipient on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA), a formula grant awarded annually from July through September, with five such awards spanning 2022 through 2026 representing ten awards in the prime role. The district also receives sub-grant funding passed through the Montana Office of Public Instruction under Title I Part A (CFDA 84.010), the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) II and III programs (CFDA 84.425 and 84.425U respectively), and other Title I allocations — five sub-grant awards recorded between 2023 and 2025. Combined obligated dollars across all fifteen awards total $476 thousand, reflecting the formula-grant structure typical of rural school funding: smaller per-district allocations distributed across many recipients according to federal eligibility criteria rather than competitive procurement.

Award activity shows light baseline volume — one to three awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — consistent with the cadence of annual federal education grant cycles rather than contract renewal or growth-driven procurement. One award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (the SRSA award due September 30, 2027), meaning minimal recompete activity on Wolf Creek's horizon in that window. The district's sole customer agency relationship (Department of Education, 100% of awards) and the formulaic, non-competitive nature of SRSA and Title I allocations establish Wolf Creek as a passive federal funding recipient rather than an active competitor for federal procurement dollars. For federal contractors seeking partnerships, teaming, or sub-award opportunities, Wolf Creek operates exclusively as a K-12 education entity performing instruction and student support rather than as a service vendor or equipment supplier.
