About the company
Alabama Port Authority, doing business as Alabama State Docks, is a U.S. government entity (state port authority) that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to design, construct, and upgrade port and intermodal freight infrastructure in Mobile, Alabama, with subordinate sub-award and pass-through grant activity. The vendor does not hold federal contracts and does not sit on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is grant-only, centered on transportation infrastructure development and port security funding from the Department of Transportation and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Alabama Port Authority operates as a child entity of the Alabama Department of Public Health. Its recent award activity reflects a sharp decline in transaction volume — seven awards in 2022, six in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2027 — despite a combined obligated value across all awards (prime and sub, spanning back to 2007) of $542.4 million. The portfolio splits 28% prime (22 awards) and 72% sub-awards and pass-throughs (57 awards), indicating that the majority of Alabama Port Authority's federal funding footprint consists of sub-awards routed through other grantees and emergency-management pass-throughs rather than direct federal grants to the port itself.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward FEMA. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for 53 of the port authority's 81%-of-awards top-customer slice, reflecting the majority of the sub-award portfolio — predominantly port security grant program pass-throughs and emergency protective measures funding funneled through the Alabama Emergency Management Agency following hurricane and disaster events. The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration provides the largest direct prime grants: a $49.3 million Transportation Demonstration Program project grant awarded May 30, 2027, for construction of an inter-terminal connector road and civil infrastructure improvements at the Port of Mobile (including a 900-foot bridge over Southern Drain and a 1,025-foot flyover bridge over Yeend Street, railroad tracks, and local roads); a $9.3 million Port Infrastructure Development Program grant awarded September 2, 2025, for coal dust collection system design and construction at McDuffie Coal Terminals (with completion targeted for January 31, 2028); and a $90.4 million Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements grant awarded June 1, 2023, for an inland intermodal container transfer facility in Montgomery, Alabama and the Chickasaw Lead Track expansion in Mobile (completion targeted for April 30, 2028). The Environmental Protection Agency placed four awards; the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration placed two. Four awards will reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
