Kell Cons School District 2

Kell Cons School District 2, a U.S. local government school district based in Kell, Illinois, is a recipient of federal education grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE). The district does not hold prime federal contracts and operates as a grant recipient, not as a vendor selling goods or services to the federal government in the traditional procurement sense.

Kell Cons School District 2's federal footprint consists entirely of education-grant work. The district has received five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grant), with the most recent prime award dated July 1, 2026 and completing September 30, 2027. The district also receives sub-grant funding from the Illinois State Board of Education as the pass-through grantor. Six sub-grant awards, spanning 2021 through 2025, have been directed to support instructional staff, materials, equipment, and professional development for students at risk of failure, as well as pandemic-relief activities under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) II and III funds of the American Rescue Plan Act.

The district's customer concentration is singular — the Department of Education's OESE accounts for all 26 awards in the source data (100% of the portfolio), reflecting a school district's role as a direct recipient of federal Title funding and emergency relief grants rather than a competitive federal contractor. Combined obligations across all awards total $1 million over the source window. Activity volume has been modest and irregular — one award in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the annual or episodic nature of formula grant allocations and sub-grant pass-throughs from the state education agency. Of the 26 awards, 20 are prime receipts (77%) and six are sub-awards from Illinois State Board of Education (23%). One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (the July 1, 2025 Small, Rural School Achievement award completing September 30, 2026), representing the only near-term recompete exposure in the district's current pipeline.
