About the company
Knox County Head Start Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit, operates as a prime recipient of federal Head Start grants from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, with supplementary sub-recipient funding from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service routed through the Ohio Department of Education.
Knox County Head Start Inc. delivers early childhood education and nutrition services under the federal Head Start program. The vendor holds a prime grant award from HHS Administration for Children and Families (Office of Head Start) effective August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2029, designated as a Project Grant. In its sub-recipient capacity, Knox County Head Start receives Child Care Food Program (CACFP) and CACFP Cash in Lieu funding from the Ohio Department of Education on behalf of the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, with awards documented for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
Customer concentration centers on two federal funding streams: the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 11 of 15 total awards (73% of recent activity), split evenly between prime Head Start grants and sub-awards, while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service supplies the remaining 4 awards, all routed as sub-recipient funding through Ohio's education agency. Combined dollar obligation across all awards in the source stands at $76 million.
Activity has been sporadic — one award in 2015, two in 2019, one in 2021, then three in 2024 and two in 2025. The vendor's award footprint is bounded to Head Start program administration and child nutrition services; no commercial contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or teaming relationships with federal contractors appear in the source. Knox County Head Start operates as a standalone nonprofit grant recipient without sub-award engagement to other vendors or documented prime contractor partnerships.
