City Of Arco

City of Arco, doing business as Arco Fire Department, is a U.S. local government entity based in Arco, Idaho that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure and utilities projects rather than as a federal contractor. The vendor operates exclusively in the grant space (92% of recent awards as prime recipient) with no federal contract vehicle awards and no private-sector contracting footprint; it does not compete on set-asides and does not serve as a prime contractor on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs.

Arco's grant portfolio centers on airport capital improvements and rural infrastructure. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region is the dominant customer, accounting for 14 of 21 prime grant awards (88% of the top-customer set) and funding runway and taxiway reconstruction, lighting system overhaul, and navigational aid installation at Arco Municipal Airport. Recent major awards include a $812,525 grant awarded August 5, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to reconstruct runway lighting, taxiway lighting, and airport rotating beacon systems at Arco Municipal Airport with performance running through August 4, 2030; a $4.1 million Airport Improvement Program award from September 12, 2025, under CFDA 20.106 funding runway rehabilitation and taxiway reconfiguration; and a $245,494 companion grant from the same date for the remaining eligible portion of runway and taxiway improvements. The vendor also holds a grant from January 4, 2022, for American Rescue Plan Act economic relief related to airport operations, personnel, and pandemic response (complete by January 3, 2026). Secondary customers include the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (3 awards), the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 (2 awards), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (2 awards). The vendor appears in the sub-recipient role on two lead-service-line replacement awards from the State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, dated June 24, 2026, and June 10, 2025, issued under EPA water infrastructure programs.

Activity has remained modest and episodic — two awards per year from 2020 through 2022, then three in 2025 and two in 2026 — with a combined obligated amount of $11.8 million across twenty-four awards since 2006. All active awards are grant-funded infrastructure projects with completion dates extending through 2030; no recompete exposure from private federal contracting exists because the vendor operates exclusively in the federal grant recipient space serving its own municipal airport and water utility needs.
