There’s a fair amount of debate about what exactly the formalism of consequentialism excludes or doesn’t, and whether it’s possible to view deontological views (or indeed any other moral theory) as a subset of consequentialism. The idea that any moral view can be seen as a version of consequentlialism is often referred to as “Dreier’s conjecture” (see e.g. the discussion here.)
Usually, consequentialist aggregration functions impose an anonymity requirement, which seems to discourage desert as a consideration (it requires that the identity of individuals can’t matter to what they get). But even that doesn’t really exclude it.
