City Of Burns

City Of Burns, a U.S. local government entity based in Burns, Oregon, acts as a federal grant recipient (90% of awards) and occasional prime contractor, funding airport infrastructure, water system improvements, community policing, and land rental services across nine federal agencies. The city does not hold federal contract IDVs, GWACs, or BPAs; federal work flows through direct awards from grantor and contracting agencies, predominantly the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

City Of Burns operates as a planning commission, airport authority, and council of governments in addition to its core municipal functions. Recent grant work spans airport improvement, public safety hiring, and drinking water infrastructure. The FAA awarded $498,456.84 in June 2026 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to construct a 1,600 square foot snow removal equipment building at Burns Municipal Airport, with completion targeted for June 2030. In July 2025, the FAA provided $268,425.26 under the same program (CFDA 20.106) to acquire snow removal equipment (truck and plow). The city received $125,000 from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (COPS Hiring Program, CFDA 16.068) on October 1, 2025, to hire additional law enforcement officers through September 2030, complementing an earlier $220,734.39 COPS Hiring Program award running through September 2027. The EPA Region 10 awarded a cooperative agreement on February 3, 2025, funding water system improvements including distribution line replacement, fire hydrant installation, well building improvements, and water meter replacement across Burns, with completion by April 2027.

Customer concentration centers on the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (18 of 35 prime awards), driven by the Burns Municipal Airport's ongoing infrastructure needs. The top five agencies by award count represent 67% of recent awards. By potential value, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management's National Office anchors the portfolio at $322 thousand across one award, though the FAA's distributed ten awards at the Northwest Mountain Region level carry significant cumulative value. City Of Burns also receives sub-awards from the Oregon Health Authority for water system design and construction work, and has received housing rehabilitation sub-awards under federal programs. Two prime awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete activity. The city holds a small federal footprint: combined potential value across all 39 awards (prime and sub) is $472 thousand, but combined obligated dollars reach $18.3 million, reflecting multi-year grant execution against smaller individual award ceilings.
