City Of Central City

City of Central City, doing business as Dermatology Specialists of Omaha LLC, is a U.S. local government entity and municipality in Central City, Nebraska, that acts as a federal grant recipient rather than a prime contractor, with recent grant work focused on airport infrastructure development and rural economic development. The vendor has received 14 prime federal grants and 1 sub-grant award (93% prime, 7% sub) totaling $6.4 million in combined obligations across fifteen awards since 2006, with most activity concentrated in the past five years.

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Central Region dominates the customer base, accounting for 9 of 15 awards through the Airport Infrastructure Grants (CFDA 20.117), Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), and American Rescue Plan Act airport relief funding. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (primary office) placed 3 additional awards. The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service issued 2 awards under the Rural Economic Development Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.854). These three agencies account for 93% of recent awards.

Representative recent grant work includes a $338,947.37 project grant from the FAA for airport apron expansion (CFDA 20.117, awarded May 15, 2026, performance through May 14, 2030) paired with a $413,684.21 Airport Improvement Program grant (CFDA 20.116, same award date and performance window) to expand the Central City Municipal Airport apron by 6,300 square yards and bring the facility into conformity with current standards. A $163,333.33 project grant (CFDA 20.106, August 12, 2024) and a $444,444.44 project grant (CFDA 20.106, June 18, 2024) funded phases of pavement maintenance and engineering services across taxiways, taxilanes, runways, and apron at the airport through 2028. In rural development, the City received a $300,000 project grant from the Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services (December 9, 2022, completed December 9, 2024) for the Rural Economic Development Grant – Electric Farm Bill project. The vendor also received American Rescue Plan Act economic relief funding (January 3, 2022) to cover airport operations, personnel, cleaning, and sanitization costs related to COVID-19 response.

Award activity has remained modest and episodic — two awards in 2021, 2022, and 2024; one in 2025; two in 2026. The airport infrastructure grants represent the preponderance of current obligation; the oldest documented award dates to August 2006. The City serves as prime recipient on all major grants; a single sub-grant award for cyber-risk management was issued June 11, 2025, to a state, local, or tribal government partner.
