Keystone Education Center, Inc.

Keystone Education Center, Inc., a Pennsylvania school district, acts as a prime recipient of federal education grants and as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The entity qualifies as a U.S. local government school district and receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to support rural school achievement and student academic intervention programs.

Keystone's federal footprint is narrow and concentrated. The vendor has received 18 federal grant awards since 2007, all from a single customer agency — the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — accounting for 100% of tracked awards. Of these, 12 awards (67%) represent direct prime grant receipts, while 6 awards (33%) are sub-awards routed through the Pennsylvania Department of Education as the prime grantee. The vendor's combined federal obligation across all awards totals $695 thousand over the nineteen-year period. Recent prime grant activity includes a Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant awarded on July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion scheduled for September 30, 2027, and a prior-year Small, Rural School Achievement Program award issued July 1, 2025, completing September 30, 2026. Sub-grant activity in 2025 included multiple pass-through awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Education issued between November 14, 2025, and December 15, 2025, targeting improvement of teaching and learning for at-risk students, expansion of well-rounded education access, school condition improvement, and student academic achievement through various federal Title programs. An earlier sub-grant award from the Pennsylvania Department of Education came on January 28, 2025.

Award activity shows no consistent trajectory. The vendor received one award each in 2015, 2017, and 2019, then accelerated to seven awards in 2025 and one in 2026. Only one award (combined potential value not specified in the source) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. Keystone operates as an implementing entity within the federal K–12 education grant system rather than as a federal services contractor; its awards support direct instruction, school improvement, and student intervention programs at the local district level under federal Title I, Title II, Title IV, and Small Rural School Achievement Program authorities.
