City Of Donna

City of Donna, a Texas municipality located in Donna, Texas, operates as a federal grant recipient and occasional federal contractor providing firing range services to Customs and Border Protection and police department equipment and training support through federal justice and community policing grants. The City competes exclusively in full-and-open categories with no set-aside designations; as a government entity, it is not SBA-certified and does not compete under small business, minority-owned, or other protected categories.

City of Donna's federal footprint centers on Department of Justice grant programs and DHS Customs and Border Protection procurement. The Department of Justice dominates the active relationship through multiple funding streams: the Bureau of Justice Assistance (8 awards across Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants, technology equipment programs, and block grants), the Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime program (5 awards), and the Community Oriented Policing Program (3 awards). Customs and Border Protection holds the only quantified dollar commitment, with three purchase orders totaling $693 thousand combined potential value for firing range access and usage through June 2029 and earlier completion dates. Recent awards include a $238,680 firm fixed-price purchase order from CBP (June 3, 2026) for firing range services through June 2029, a continuation of a prior $238,680 option-year award (May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2026), a Bureau of Justice Assistance block grant for police department computer acquisition (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2025), a Community Oriented Policing Services Hiring Program (COPS Hiring) project grant through September 30, 2028, and a FY 2023 COPS Technology and Equipment Program invitation-only grant (December 29, 2022 through January 31, 2026).

The City holds 55% of recent awards as a prime recipient across its justice and border security grants, with 45% flowing as subawards from Texas state agencies. Prime grant work focuses on police department equipment purchases (desktop computers, rifle scopes, lights, fingerprint identification systems, surveillance trailers) and police staffing initiatives under COPS Hiring. As a sub-recipient, the City receives subawards from the Governor of Texas Office (Crime Victim Liaison projects, multiple tranches) and the Texas Water Development Board (wastewater treatment plant planning and design, awarded October 24, 2024). The City also acts as a sub-recipient under Operation Stonegarden funding for enhanced border enforcement coordination, with multiple awards spanning 2022 through 2025. Activity has declined recently — from six awards in 2023 to three in 2024 and two in 2025 — with only one award recorded in 2026. The combined potential value of $693 thousand is substantially lower than cumulative obligations of $6.1 million, indicating that grants obligated across prior award years continue to fund ongoing operations through current completion dates extending into 2029.
