City Of Bossier

City of Bossier, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Bossier City, Louisiana, receives federal formula grants and block grants as a prime recipient in community development, criminal justice, emergency management, and infrastructure programs, with no federal contracting footprint.

City of Bossier operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The vendor's federal footprint spans nine agencies across two dominant program areas. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads by award count with 20 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement awards, a formula grant program authorized under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) that funds viable urban communities, decent housing, and economic opportunity expansion for low- and moderate-income persons. The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, including the Bureau of Justice Assistance, accounts for 9 awards split between Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) and specialized law enforcement block grants; recent JAG work includes directed criminal patrols, law enforcement training, and equipment purchases for Bossier City Police Department operations including the Armed Robbery Task Force, running through fiscal year 2027. The Department of the Air Force holds 13 awards centered on water and sewage treatment facilities infrastructure (12 awards under NAICS 221300, Sewage Treatment Facilities; 1 under Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), with 13 task orders placed against Indefinite Delivery Contract F1660276D0134. Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards contribute 3 additional grants focused on emergency management and COVID-19 response. The vendor also holds sub-recipient positions on Homeland Security and Emergency Management grants covering emergency protective measures and city management cost projects, as well as sub-awards from the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice funding a Domestic Violence Coordinator position within BCPD.

Recent activity has contracted sharply — the vendor received four awards in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 year-to-date — a significant decline from the two-per-year baseline of 2022–2023. Only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Combined potential value across the entire federal footprint totals $17 thousand, with obligated dollars reaching $16 million (93% of potential value), indicating that the portfolio consists primarily of executed formula grants rather than open-ceiling contract vehicles. City of Bossier's subsidiary, City of Bossier City, operates as the operational grant-implementing entity for local infrastructure and public safety programs.
