Humboldt City Of

Humboldt Board of Education, a local government entity headquartered in Humboldt, Tennessee, operates as a federal grant sub-recipient rather than a prime contractor or prime grantee, receiving 60% of its recent awards through sub-grant arrangements with state and federal grant administrators. The entity has no federal contract prime awards and does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded and subordinate to prime grantee relationships.

The board's recent federal work centers on airport infrastructure design. Three consecutive sub-grant awards from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, dated April 2025, June 2026, and October 2026, fund partial parallel taxiway and taxiway removal design activities (project number 27-555-0159-25). These awards represent the bulk of recent activity, with a combined obligation of $7.7 million across five total awards spanning 2017 through October 2026. Customer concentration is low — the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region accounts for 40% of awards by count, with the Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Administration making up the remaining 20% of the tracked portfolio. The two prime grant awards (40% of the portfolio) are not detailed in the source; the sub-award pathway appears to be the entity's characteristic federal relationship.

Activity is episodic rather than sustained. The source shows one award in 2017, one in 2018, then a gap until 2025, followed by two awards in 2026. Humboldt Board of Education does not hold competitive set-aside designations, does not operate as a prime on federal contracts, and does not maintain infrastructure for task-order competition on government-wide vehicles. The entity's federal exposure is limited to grant sub-recipient work on transportation and economic development projects, with no indication of federal contracting or prime grantee status in the award record.
