Warren Community Unit School District 205

Warren Community Unit School District 205, a U.S. local government entity based in Warren, Illinois, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, receiving formula grants and sub-awards routed through the Illinois State Board of Education to support K–12 instruction and special education services.

The district is a pure grant recipient with no federal contract footprint. Its prime federal award activity consists entirely of recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued annually on July 1 and running through September 30 of the following fiscal year. The district has received five such grants since 2022, most recently a July 1, 2026 award with ultimate completion scheduled for September 30, 2027. Sub-award work flows exclusively through the Illinois State Board of Education as the prime grantee, delivering special education services (IDEA Part B, residential costs for students with disabilities), Title I instructional support and progress monitoring, and materials and equipment for at-risk students. Sub-awards are dated September through October in fiscal cycles aligned to the state board's pass-through timing, with six sub-awards spanning October 2023 through September 2026.

Customer concentration is monolithic. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 24 of 26 recent awards; the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services holds the remaining 2 awards, representing 100% coverage. Combined dollars obligated across all 26 awards total $1.6 million, reflecting the modest scale of rural district formula allocations. Activity has remained flat to minimal—one to three awards per year over the past five years—with only one award (the July 2026 Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant) scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The district does not hold seats on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs and does not operate as a contractor on service or supply vehicles. Federal funding flows to instructional and special education operations within the school district's K–12 mission rather than to procurement or resale activity.
