AAA Northern New England

AAA Northern New England, a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Portland, Maine, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, receiving five sub-award allocations totaling $164 thousand from the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over the past three years. The organization does not hold prime federal contracts or IDV positions and has no awarded federal contract vehicles in its portfolio.

AAA Northern New England's federal footprint consists entirely of sub-grant work supporting highway safety and impaired driving prevention programs. Awards cover planning and implementation of the Maine Impaired Driving Summit (three sub-awards from the Maine Department of Public Safety in 2022, 2024, and 2025) and participation in the Office of Highway Safety Annual Conference and the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety annual conference (two sub-awards from the Office of Highway Safety in 2025, both issued October 1, 2025). The combined obligated value across all five sub-awards is $164 thousand. The vendor has worked with only one federal funding agency — NHTSA — and all work flows through state highway safety offices as prime grantees rather than direct federal relationships.

Activity has been sporadic. The source records one sub-award in 2022, none in 2023, one in 2024, and three in 2025, with the most recent three awards issued simultaneously on October 1, 2025. The three 2025 awards represent 60% of the vendor's recent sub-grant volume and may indicate either expanded state engagement or administrative consolidation in NHTSA's grant cycle. AAA Northern New England's role is narrowly scoped to planning, conference participation, and summit implementation support — not service delivery, procurement, or capacity-building across a broader federal customer base.
