Reconstruct aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicle

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded Texarkana Airport Authority $1,102,672.63 on July 31, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to reconstruct one Class IV aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicle with a 1,500-gallon capacity that has reached the end of its useful life and no longer meets 14 CFR Part 139 safety requirements.

The recipient, doing business as Texarkana Regional Airport in Texarkana, Arkansas, will use the funding to replace the existing aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicle to bring the airport into compliance with federal safety regulations. Work will be performed at Texarkana Regional Airport, Texarkana, Arkansas. The period of performance runs through July 30, 2030. This is a Project Grant, assistance type.

The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, funded as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides $14.5 billion over five years for runway, taxiway, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal and airport transit connection improvements at primary and nonprimary airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.
