City Of Fort Dodge

City Of Fort Dodge, operating as the Fort Dodge Airport Commission, is a U.S. local government entity and airport authority that receives federal grant funding for airport infrastructure improvements as a grant recipient, not a federal contractor. The entity is a child of the parent City Of Fort Dodge municipal government and holds no federal contracts or IDVs; its federal footprint consists entirely of project and formula grants under FAA airport development programs.

The Fort Dodge Airport Commission's grant portfolio is narrowly concentrated in civil aviation infrastructure. Recent awards include $245,944.44 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) on August 17, 2026, to expand an existing hangar by 20,000 square feet for aircraft storage (completion July 11, 2028); $482,641.05 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) on July 10, 2026, to acquire one snow blower for priority airfield snow removal (completion July 9, 2030); and $883,578.95 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 9, 2025, to reconstruct Taxiway B lighting infrastructure (completion September 8, 2029). Additional recent work includes a $450,777.89 formula grant (CFDA 20.106) on August 28, 2025, for runway 12/30 resealing and resurfacing, and a $978,888.89 project grant on July 12, 2024, to construct a new 20,000-square-foot five-unit T-hangar facility for aircraft storage and maintenance. All awards flow from the Federal Aviation Administration's Central Region.

The entity's customer base is dominated by the Federal Aviation Administration Central Region, which accounts for 16 awards in the visible portfolio. General Services Administration leasing awards (14 awards) and the Transportation Security Administration (3 awards, $501 thousand combined potential value) represent secondary activity. The Fort Dodge Airport Commission sits on two General Services Administration Basic Ordering Agreements (GS06B30033 with 81 task orders and GS06B90112 with 18 task orders), though these vehicles account for $1.1 million in combined potential value and do not reflect the Commission's core civil aviation grant activity. The parent City Of Fort Dodge entity independently holds GSA BOA positions for facility leasing and related services. Activity has remained modest and episodic — two to four awards annually across the past five years — with only one award completing within the next twenty-four months. The Fort Dodge Airport Commission also receives pass-through sub-grant funding from transit and mobility programs (Section 5339 Bus Grant, FY24 CRP Bus Grant, FFY23 Nonurbanized Area Formula Program Grant), indicating the parent City Of Fort Dodge's broader transportation funding footprint.
