Akron-Westfield Community School

Akron-Westfield Community School, a U.S. local government school district located in Akron, Iowa, is a federal grant recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district does not hold federal contracts or compete as a vendor; it operates as a K–12 educational institution receiving formula grant funding to support instructional and operational programs in a rural setting.

The district's federal footprint consists entirely of education grants from a single customer agency — the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — across twenty-two awards documented in the source data. From 2022 through 2026, Akron-Westfield received five annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants, each running a fifteen-month cycle from July through September of the following year. The most recent prime award covers the period from July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. In parallel, the district acts as sub-recipient on two Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies passed through the Department of Education Iowa (July 2024 and July 3, 2025). Together, these two sub-awards may support Title I programs, delinquency initiatives, or school improvement activities under Sections 1003 AEA and 1003 LEA.

The district's award activity has remained modest and consistent — one award in 2022 and 2023, two in 2024 and 2025, and one in 2026 — with combined obligations across all awards totaling $1 million. No awards appear in the recompete window beyond the next twenty-four months, indicating the district's federal footprint is stable but carries no material recompete risk or opportunity in the near term. Ninety-one percent of awards are prime grants (formula allocations to the district directly); nine percent are sub-grants routed through the state education authority. Federal contractors assessing partnership or teaming opportunity should note that Akron-Westfield is an end-user educational institution, not a procurement agent, vendor, or contractor that would serve as a prime or subcontractor on federal supply or service contracts. Any federal engagement would be indirect — through the state education agency, curriculum vendors, or facilities service providers that the district engages as local sub-recipients or operational partners.
