Airport Authority Of Scottsbluff County

Airport Authority Of Scottsbluff County, doing business as Western Nebraska Regional Airport, is a U.S. government entity (county airport authority headquartered in Scottsbluff, Nebraska) that receives federal grant funding from the Federal Aviation Administration for airport infrastructure improvement and maintenance work, acting as a prime grant recipient rather than a federal contractor or subcontractor.

The Airport Authority's federal footprint consists exclusively of prime grants — 127 awards with no subcontractor role — awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration Central Region under the Airport Improvement Program and related federal programs. Recent grant work centers on runway and taxiway rehabilitation and construction at Western Nebraska Regional Airport. Representative awards include a $1.26 million Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) project grant dated June 25, 2026, to rehabilitate 16,000 feet of taxiways A, B, D, E, F, and G and 8,002 feet of Runway 05/23 with completion by June 24, 2030; a $3.68 million Airport Improvement Program project grant dated August 26, 2025, for final construction of a new 3,275-foot paved Taxiway D with completion by August 25, 2029; and a $1.75 million Airport Improvement Program project grant dated July 29, 2025, for construction of a new 3,275-foot Taxiway A with completion by July 28, 2029. The Airport Authority also received a $1.087 million COVID-19 economic-relief project grant dated December 13, 2021, under the American Rescue Plan Act to cover airport operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service through December 12, 2025.

Customer concentration is narrow by design: the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Central Region accounts for 17 awards (40% of all awards by count), though the specific dollar magnitudes of FAA Central Region awards are not itemized separately in the source. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing holds 14 awards worth $3.2 million in combined potential value, reflecting real-estate lease obligations; the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration accounts for 4 awards worth $885 thousand. The vendor operates on two GSA Basic Ordering Agreements for real-estate lease services: GS06B30021 (70 task orders, $1.8 million combined potential value) and GS06B90039 (18 task orders, $4.1 million combined potential value). Activity has been sparse and episodic — one award per year in 2022, 2023, and 2024, rising to three awards in 2025 and two in 2026 — with only one award facing completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore no significant recompete cliff near-term. The combined obligated value across all 127 awards is $48 million against a combined potential value of $7.5 million, a ratio reflecting prior-year funding commitments now in execution phase.
