Yuma School District 1

Yuma School District 1, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Yuma, Colorado, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and acts as a sub-recipient on education and nutrition grants flowing through the Colorado Board of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts or serve as a prime contractor; its federal footprint is grant-funded only.

Yuma School District 1's recent activity centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, under which the district has received five consecutive annual formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (July 2022 through July 2026). The district's most recent prime grant award, dated July 1, 2026, carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through allocations from the Colorado Board of Education across multiple federal education and nutrition programs: Title I, Title II (professional development), Title III (English Language Learner instruction), Title IV (well-rounded education), Nutrition Block grants (fiscal years 2023–2526), and Summer EBT. The source lists forty-five sub-grant awards, the majority issued between January 2024 and July 2026, indicating regular quarterly or monthly disbursement cycles aligned with school fiscal operations.

Customer concentration is tight. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service account for 93% of awards (52 out of 58 total awards across prime and sub roles), with the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education issuing 27 awards and the Food and Nutrition Service issuing 25. The Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition contributes 2 awards. Combined dollars obligated across all fifty-eight awards total $2.5 million. The district's activity has trended upward — one award in 2022 to sixteen in 2025 — with eleven awards recorded in 2026 (through July). Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete risk for the district itself, though annual formula-grant cycles suggest recurring renewal opportunity.

The district's role is exclusively as a grant recipient operating small-rural-school programs and managing child nutrition services. Unlike federal contractors, Yuma School District 1 does not compete for procurement vehicles, maintain SBA certifications, or subcontract on task orders. Its federal relationship is straightforward pass-through funding tied to student enrollment and nutrition-program participation, with grant administration and compliance responsibility resident within the district's education operations.
