About the company
Highland Community College Foundation, doing business as Community College District #519, is a U.S. local government entity and foundation operating as a child of the State of Illinois that delivers vocational and postsecondary educational services to federal agencies as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor for workforce training. The foundation competes full-and-open with no set-aside designation across its federal footprint.
The foundation's primary capability centers on inmate vocational welding certification and postsecondary education support services. On the contract side, Highland holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons for welding program services at the Administrative United States Penitentiary Thomson in Thomson, Illinois, valued at $240,540 with a June 16, 2026 completion date. Five delivery orders have been issued under this IDC between January 2024 and May 2026, including a $49,500 basic welding certificate program (January 5, 2024), a $45,120 FY24 G3 welding services order later modified to $25,080 (May 13, 2024), and a $48,600 welding program services delivery order through September 30, 2026 (May 1, 2026). On the grant side, Highland serves as prime recipient for multiple programs under the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education, including a $358,320 TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Project Grant (CFDA 84.042) effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, an Education Opportunity Center grant, and two TRIO Upward Bound programs serving high school students in northwestern Illinois. Highland also administers AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) grants from the Corporation for National and Community Service covering fiscal years 2022 through March 31, 2028.
Customer concentration is diffuse across two distinct agencies. The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education funds 15 awards (grant-based), while the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons funds 10 awards ($751 thousand combined potential value) concentrated in the welding contract line. The Corporation for National and Community Service accounts for seven awards across volunteer and grant administration programs. Recent activity has declined significantly — two awards in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — with six awards (combined potential value $49 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. Highland subcontracts on two federal grant awards: it receives pass-through funding from the Illinois Community College Board for Adult Education services (November 25, 2025) and from Northern Illinois University for rural postsecondary student support and career pathway coordination under a federally funded rural-to-graduate pipeline program (March 5, 2024). The foundation's federal footprint is rooted in junior college operations and vocational education delivery, with top NAICS coding at Junior Colleges and top PSC at Education/Training — Vocational/Technical.
