Potomac Community Unit District No 10

Potomac Community Unit District No 10, doing business as Potomac Elementary School, is a U.S. local government school district that receives federal education grants from the U.S. Department of Education as a prime recipient, with no federal procurement contracting footprint. The district operates as a government entity serving a small rural community in Potomac, Illinois, and competes exclusively under federal grant programs rather than procurement vehicles.

Potomac Elementary operates entirely within the federal grant space, receiving direct formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and sub-grants from the Illinois State Board of Education. The district's grant portfolio consists of five prime awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA), a formula grant administered by OESE, with annual awards issued July 1 through September 30 completion cycles. The district has also received sub-grant funding through the Illinois State Board of Education for special education services, compensatory reading instruction, safe return to school activities under ESSER III, and residential cost reimbursement for students with disabilities. Representative sub-awards include IDEA Part B flow-through funds for special education services to children ages 3–21 in the least restrictive environment, supplementary instructional materials and reading paraprofessional support, and targeted interventions for at-risk students.

The district's customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 23 of 25 total awards; the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (which administers IDEA grants passed through the state) accounts for the remaining 2, representing 100% of award volume. All work is performed as either a prime recipient directly from OESE or as a sub-recipient from the Illinois State Board of Education, with no federal contracting or parent procurement vehicles. Award activity shows stability across the past five years — one to three awards annually between 2022 and 2026 — with one award (the current SRSA grant cycle running through September 2026) scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. The combined dollars obligated across the entire award footprint stand at $1 million. Potomac Elementary does not pursue or hold seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or agency-wide procurement vehicles; its federal funding stream flows exclusively through education grant programs administered by the Department of Education and dispersed through the state education agency.
