Cape Girardeau City Hall

Cape Girardeau City Hall, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, is the prime recipient of nearly 1,300 federal contract delivery orders and grants, the overwhelming majority of which are small-value aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel) deliveries to the Defense Logistics Agency Energy under an indefinite-delivery contract vehicle.

Cape Girardeau City Hall is a municipal government (not a for-profit entity or contractor in the commercial sense) and competes in full-and-open federal procurement with no set-aside designations across its entire footprint. The entity operates as a city government serving a regional municipal function and generates federal revenue primarily through two distinct pathways: bulk petroleum supply contracts with DLA Energy and airport infrastructure grants from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The federal contract portfolio is dominated almost entirely by DLA Energy work. Of 1,324 total awards tracked in the source data, 1,250 (98%) are DLA Energy delivery orders for aviation turbine fuel, JAA, issued under two parent indefinite-delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60721D0032 (451 task orders, $468 thousand combined potential value) and the DLA Aviation Turbine Fuel IDIQ 2017-2020 (492 task orders, $524 thousand combined potential value). Each delivery order is valued between $155 and $5,521—representing individual fuel shipments to military sites across the Midwest. These contracts use fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment pricing and are associated with DLA Energy's 2.3 Central domestic into-plane program for aircraft refueling across the Plains and Midwest region. The IDC SPE60721D0032 has a ceiling of $224,844.62 and runs through September 30, 2024; recent delivery orders confirm Cape Girardeau City Hall's status as a direct regional supplier of aviation fuel to support Department of Defense operations.

Beyond DLA Energy, Cape Girardeau City Hall holds smaller contract positions on GSA Schedules and leasing vehicles. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office reports 10 awards totaling $888 thousand in combined potential value, reflecting Cape Girardeau's role as a lessor of nonresidential building space (NAICS 531110); GSA Region 6 reports 3 additional awards worth $234 thousand. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration accounts for 4 awards valued at $1.1 million combined potential.

The federal grant footprint reflects Cape Girardeau City Hall's role as the administrative entity of the City of Cape Girardeau and steward of the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Central Region has awarded Cape Girardeau City Hall multiple project grants under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). Recent awards include $3.83 million (awarded September 16, 2024) to reconstruct 2,100 feet of Taxiway D pavement and lighting; $2.5 million and $2.15 million (awarded August 25, 2026) jointly to reconstruct 410 feet of Taxiway E; $796,764 (awarded August 19, 2025) to construct a 750-foot T-hangar taxilane; and $587,000 (awarded August 7, 2023) to construct 26 new T-hangars for aircraft storage and maintenance. These grants support airport self-sustainability through infrastructure and revenue-generating facilities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded Cape Girardeau City Hall $103,898 (August 13, 2024) and an earlier amount under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program (CFDA 97.044) to procure firefighting equipment and emergency response capabilities. The Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded a Community Development Block Grant under CFDA 14.218 (effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2033) to support community development and low-to-moderate-income housing initiatives. Cape Girardeau City Hall has also received federal grant sub-awards routed through the Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri Department of Public Safety for sidewalk construction, sewer main repair, debris removal, emergency protective measures, and management costs related to disaster recovery.

Activity declined sharply after 2024: the source shows 203 awards in 2023 (mostly DLA Energy delivery orders) and 109 in 2022, but only 7 in 2025 and 4 in 2026, suggesting either a data collection cutoff early in 2026 or completion of the parent DLA Energy IDC and transition to a new vehicle cycle. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $219 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure on the contract side, though the FAA airport grants carry multi-year performance periods through 2029–2030 and represent the largest future cash flows.

Cape Girardeau City Hall operates as prime recipient on 99% of awards. Sub-award activity is minimal: six sub-grants from the Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri Department of Public Safety represent pass-through funding for local infrastructure and disaster response, not subcontracted service delivery. The entity has no named corporate subsidiaries beyond its operational city government structure.
