Coffeyville Unified SD

Coffeyville Unified School District, a Kansas K–12 public school district located in Coffeyville, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering supplemental education and nutrition services to low-income and Native American students, with 79% of recent federal awards received as a sub-recipient through the Kansas State Department of Education and the Kansas Department of Health and Human Services.

The district's federal footprint is heavily weighted toward education and nutrition programming. As a prime recipient, Coffeyville Unified SD holds Indian Education Formula Grants (CFDA 84.060) directly from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued annually on July 1 for the fiscal year running through June 30; the most recent prime grant covers July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The $104,781 grant awarded for fiscal year 2023–2024 funded supplemental services and programming to address the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Native American students in the district, supporting academic achievement and cultural education aligned with state performance standards. As a sub-recipient, the district receives the vast majority of its federal funding through pass-through awards from Kansas state agencies, with the Kansas State Department of Education channeling block grants, National School Lunch Program funding (NSLP CIL), Title I Low Income education funds, Title II-A teacher quality improvement grants, Title IV-A student support and academic enrichment grants, and 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) programming. A smaller sub-recipient relationship with the Kansas Department of Health and Human Services funds evidence-based home visiting services in Montgomery County, Kansas.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 58 of the 100 total awards in the source data, reflecting the district's reliance on federal nutrition assistance for its student population. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education represents 37 awards, anchoring the academic support footprint. Together these two agencies account for 99% of awards. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $17.6 million, with activity trending upward from five or six awards per year in 2022–2023 to 22–24 per year in 2024–2026. Only one award faces completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating stable ongoing funding streams.

Coffeyville Unified SD does not serve as a prime contractor on federal procurement contracts and holds no seat on federal contract vehicles or IDIQs. Its federal engagement is exclusively grant-based, functioning as a direct recipient of formula allocations and as a sub-recipient of block grants and categorical education funding passed through Kansas state education and health agencies. The district's role in the federal system is characteristic of a rural school district serving a high-poverty and Native American student population.
