City Of Kendallville

City Of Kendallville Police Department Division, a U.S. local government entity located in Kendallville, Indiana, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on emergency services infrastructure and public safety equipment procurement. The vendor holds no federal contracts and does not compete on the open market; all federal funding flows through direct project grants to the municipality as a grant recipient (73% of recent awards as prime recipient) and through pass-through subawards from state and regional intermediaries (27% as sub-recipient).

The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated in emergency services and airport infrastructure grants. Across 26 awards spanning 2008 to August 2026, the top five customer agencies account for 81% of recent awards, led by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region (9 prime grants) and the FAA's national program office (6 prime grants), followed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards (3 prime grants), the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (2 prime grants), and the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Program (1 prime grant). The vendor's combined dollars obligated across all awards total $13.1 million.

Recent prime grant work centers on airport infrastructure and fire department enhancement. The City received a $459,450 FAA Airport Improvement Program grant (awarded August 6, 2025, completion August 5, 2029) for reconstruction of a 14,688 square-foot parking lot at Kendallville Municipal Airport; a $258,935 FAA Airport Improvement Program grant (awarded August 25, 2026, completion August 24, 2030) for design of airport drainage and erosion control improvements; a $966,335 FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (awarded July 15, 2024, completion July 14, 2026) for firefighting equipment, personal protective gear, facility modifications, and health and wellness programs for the fire department; a $263,383 FEMA Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant (awarded January 19, 2025, completion January 18, 2028) to support firefighter hiring over three years; and a $327,140 FAA Airport Improvement Program grant (awarded August 22, 2022, completion August 21, 2026) for updating the airport master plan.

Sub-recipient activity flows through state intermediaries, including the Indiana Finance Authority (lead service line replacement sub-award, September 30, 2025), the Indiana Department of Transportation (construction engineering and right-of-way sub-awards in June 2024 and July 2024), and unnamed state or local pass-throughs for recovery housing projects and historic building facade renovation work. Activity has grown from two awards per year in 2022–2024 to five in 2025 and one in 2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.
