County Of Brevard

County of Brevard, operating through its Finance Department, is a local government entity that acts as a federal grant recipient for transportation safety planning, airport infrastructure improvements, and disaster recovery initiatives, with a secondary role as a sub-recipient on emergency management and transportation grants flowing through the State of Florida. The county does not hold federal contracts as a prime and has no presence on government-wide vehicles or agency IDIQs.

The county's grant footprint spans eleven distinct federal agencies, with heavy concentration in disaster-recovery and infrastructure funding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 46 awards (47% of recent volume), driven by sub-awards flowing through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management for post-hurricane recovery work across parks, embankments, dunes, boardwalks, debris removal, and emergency operations center activities. The Department of Transportation agencies combine for 25 awards across the Federal Aviation Administration (18 awards) and Federal Highway Administration (7 awards). Department of the Air Force Space Command contributed 9 awards with $1.1 million combined potential value. Recent prime-recipient grants include a $320 thousand Federal Highway Administration Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) award on January 23, 2026, for Brevard County Supplemental Safety Planning through April 30, 2029, a $476 thousand FAA Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) grant on July 3, 2024, for Valkaria Airport runway precision approach path indicator replacement through July 2, 2028, and multiple FAA AIP awards for taxiway construction and lighting at Valkaria Airport dating to 2021, including $476 thousand for Taxiway E construction with lighting (awarded August 19, 2022; completion August 18, 2026) and American Rescue Plan Act augmented awards for taxiway lighting (August 4, 2021).

The county's sub-recipient activity has accelerated significantly in the past two years — fourteen awards in 2024 and seventeen in 2025 — reflecting post-hurricane federal assistance flowing through state-level grantees. Forty-six sub-awards from the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management span debris removal, parks and infrastructure restoration, embankment and erosion control, utility system repairs, and emergency protective measures; sub-awards from the State of Florida Department of Transportation cover Brevard-area transportation planning and trail construction. The county also receives JAG (Byrne Grants) funds from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for sheriff transport deputy salaries.

The county's potential-value profile is compressed: combined potential across ninety-seven awards totals $1.1 million, though obligated dollars ($100.2 million) far exceed potential value, indicating that the award file contains many closed-out or near-completion grants rather than large open-ended work. The Indefinite Delivery Contract F0865088D0004 (Air Force Space Command) carries sixteen task orders worth $1.1 million combined potential value, representing the county's sole IDC placement. The county operates as prime on 45% of recent awards and sub-recipient on 55%, with no federal contract prime experience and no seat on competitive contract vehicles.
