Big Horn County Montana

Big Horn County Montana Sheriff's Office, doing business as Big Horn Country Sheriff Office, is a U.S. local government entity (county sheriff's department) that receives federal grant sub-awards as a recipient of pass-through funding; it does not serve as a federal contract prime, does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, and does not operate as a contractor for hire.

The Sheriff's Office has received four federal grant sub-awards over the past four years (2021–2024), totaling $2.1 million in combined obligations. All four awards are sub-recipient grants, not prime awards; the entity acts as a pass-through recipient of federal grant funding channeled through intermediate grantees rather than directly from grantor agencies. The sub-awards span infrastructure, public health, and emergency services functions: housing needs assessment (June 2024), electronic health records system purchase and installation (April 2023), water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance (August 2022), and one additional award (June 2021). Activity has remained flat at one award per year across the period. The Sheriff's Office is headquartered in Hardin, Montana (Big Horn County), and its federal grant work reflects local government service delivery and capital infrastructure modernization priorities typical of rural county law enforcement and public safety agencies.

This is not a federal contractor and carries no contract vehicle seats. It does not compete on open federal procurements, hold SBA designations, or maintain a commercial federal business development posture. It functions as a local government recipient of federal pass-through grant funds, not as a vendor or teaming partner in the federal contractor ecosystem.
