About the company
Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative, a U.S. state government entity and Kentucky-based consortium of 13 school districts, operates as a recipient of federal grants for early childhood education, student mental health, and AmeriCorps programming, with no federal contracting footprint. The cooperative holds 91% of its recent awards as a prime grant recipient and receives sub-grant funding through partnerships with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health Services. All federal activity is grant-based (no contracts or IDVs); the cooperative does not compete on procurement vehicles or set-asides.
Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative's grant portfolio centers on Head Start and Early Head Start services funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The cooperative holds three active Head Start awards spanning preschool-age and infant/toddler cohorts: a $6,896,956 Head Start award obligated on June 30, 2026, through December 31, 2026 (CFDA 93.600); a five-year Head Start award effective January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029; and an Early Head Start–Child Care Partnership award running August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2029. The cooperative also received a Project Grant from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for Project R3 (Recruit, Retain, and Re-Specialize to Support Student Mental Health), running January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2025. In its sub-grant role, the cooperative receives AmeriCorps State funding through awards from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health Services in July 2025 and August 2024.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward HHS Administration for Children and Families, which funds 11 of 22 total awards in the source data (100% coverage of awards). The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 6 awards; two additional HHS awards, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance complete the customer set. The cooperative has obligated $401.5 million across 22 awards since first appearing in federal grant records in October 2005. Award frequency has remained modest—two awards in 2021, one in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026—reflecting the multi-year project-grant cycles typical of Head Start programming. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete pressure in that window. The cooperative's subsidiary West Point Independent Schools is structured as a limited liability company and non-profit organization but does not appear as a named recipient in the source grant records.
