Unified School District 467

Unified School District 467, doing business as Wichita County School, is a public school district based in Leoti, Kansas, that receives federal education funding as a grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and serves as a sub-recipient of block grant and Title I Low Income education funding from the Kansas State Department of Education. The district operates as a U.S. local government entity and does not hold federal contracts or function as a prime contractor; all federal revenue flows through formula grants and pass-through block grant allocations from the state education agency.

Unified School District 467's federal footprint reflects a typical rural K–12 public school profile. The district holds direct prime recipient status on five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, running through September 30 of the following year. Beyond these direct grants, the district receives the bulk of its federal revenue as a sub-recipient through the Kansas State Department of Education, which passes through block grants and Title I Low Income funding. The sub-recipient award stream shows monthly or quarterly block grant disbursements running from 2022 through 2026, with Title I Low Income sub-awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

The source data spans fifty-three awards and sub-awards across nineteen years (2007 to 2026), with combined dollars obligated of $1.7 million. Recent activity accelerated in 2024, rising to eleven awards that year and maintaining ten to eleven awards annually through 2026. The district's customer base is entirely concentrated within two federal agencies — the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (27 awards) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (26 awards) — accounting for 100% of recorded activity. The Agriculture awards likely reflect federal child nutrition program funding passed through state or regional intermediaries; the Education awards include both the five Small, Rural School Achievement Program direct grants and the thirty-one sub-recipient block grant and Title I allocations from Kansas. Only one award in the portfolio faces completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term.

The district's role in the federal funding landscape is passive — it receives allocations rather than competes for them. As a rural public school district, Unified School District 467 does not vendor-sell goods or services to the federal government; it is an education service provider that expends federal funding for classroom instruction, school nutrition programs, and related operations in a small Kansas community. This profile is not relevant to federal contractor competitive intelligence, vendor teaming, or M&A research.
