The Industrial Development Board Of The City Of Dresden

The Industrial Development Board Of The City Of Dresden (doing business as City Of Dresden) is a U.S. local government entity that acts exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, holding no prime contracts or IDV seats. The vendor operates as a municipal economic development authority headquartered in Dresden, Tennessee, and participates in federal grant programs administered through state and regional intermediaries rather than competing for direct federal procurements.

The vendor's federal footprint is entirely sub-recipient grant work across two customer agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for six awards (100% of recent sub-recipient activity), all stemming from disaster assistance programs under PA 4637, awarded through Tennessee Emergency Management Agency as the prime grantee on December 10, 2021. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 placed one award, a Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLi) grant sub-award through the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation, dated February 25, 2025. Combined potential value across all seven sub-awards totals $30.8 million obligated dollars.

Activity shows a concentrated cluster in 2021 (six FEMA sub-awards from a single award date) and minimal recent traffic — one award in the two-year window covered by the source data. The vendor does not compete on federal contracts, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDVs. As a local government entity, the vendor operates outside the SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and other federal small-business set-aside categories; it qualifies instead as a state and local government recipient under federal grant programs. The vendor's role is limited to sub-recipient grant execution — implementing lead service line remediation and disaster recovery projects funded through federal grants, with Tennessee state agencies serving as the pass-through grant administrators. This posture indicates the vendor functions as a municipal delivery agent for federally funded infrastructure and emergency management work rather than as a federal contractor or prime grant recipient.
