About the company

Nex-Tech, LLC (doing business as Cordell) operates as a sub-recipient of federal broadband-infrastructure grants, building fiber-optic and wireless network infrastructure to serve unserved and underserved rural communities across Kansas under awards flowing through state grant programs. The company is a child entity of Rural Telephone Service Company, Inc., a for-profit telecommunications operator based in Lenora, Kansas, and competes in both prime grant roles (43% of recent awards) and as a grant sub-recipient (57%).

Nex-Tech's federal footprint centers on rural broadband deployment funded through state pass-through grants anchored by the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 and the Department of the Treasury. Four awards flow through the Treasury (funding source unspecified in the source), while two awards totaling $84 thousand combined potential value come from Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6. The two customer agencies account for 86% of recent awards and 98% of combined potential value. Nex-Tech's recent work includes a September 2025 sub-award from the Executive Office of the State of Kansas to deploy public Wi-Fi at Elmwood Park in Norton County; a March 2023 sub-award to build fiber infrastructure serving 99 percent unserved areas of Saline County, including connectivity to the Saline Zoo and conferencing capability; a March 2023 sub-award to deliver fiber-to-the-premise broadband to 346 unserved locations in the Oberlin Exchange area in Decatur County; and a March 2023 sub-award to extend fiber connectivity to the rural community of Gem in Thomas County.

The vendor's award portfolio is sparse: seven total awards spanning 2009 to 2025, with three awards in 2023 and one in 2025. Combined potential value is $86 thousand, but $11.4 million has been obligated across all awards — the disparity reflects grants where potential value figures understate executed work. NAICS concentration spans Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing, Radio Television and Other Electronics Stores, and All Other Telecommunications, with PSC work in communication equipment installation and fiber-optics assembly.
