City Of Laredo

City Of Laredo, operating through its Laredo Transit Management, Inc. division and doing business as Laredo Waterworks System, is a U.S. municipal government entity that acts as a prime recipient of federal transit and infrastructure grants, with no federal contract prime footprint. The organization operates as a city transit authority and water utility serving Laredo, Texas, headquartered at 1110 Houston Street. All recent federal work is grant-funded; the vendor does not compete for or hold federal contracts.

The City of Laredo's federal footprint is overwhelmingly concentrated in transportation and water infrastructure grants. The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration dominates the award count, with 57 awards covering transit operations, vehicle procurement, and capital equipment replacement for Laredo Transit Management, Inc.'s fixed-route bus and paratransit services. Recent representative transit grants include an $8.675 million Federal Transit Formula Grants (CFDA 20.507) award on May 11, 2026, for operating assistance and preventive maintenance covering driver salaries, fuel, bus parts, and supplies through March 30, 2027; a $1.153 million Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (CFDA 20.513) award on August 1, 2025, consolidating three years of apportionment for El Lift Department paratransit services, vehicle replacement, and software upgrades with completion by January 31, 2029; an $8.753 million American Rescue Plan Act operating assistance award on March 1, 2022, supporting COVID-19 recovery for fixed-route and paratransit operations through March 2023; and a $469,979 Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) award on August 20, 2026, for three new support vehicles and transit lobby signage replacement through July 30, 2030. The City has also pursued compressed natural gas bus fleet conversion, purchasing 14 CNG buses under an April 2026 project grant to dismantle an equal number of diesel buses. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service generates significant award count (66 awards, though with minimal potential value) through Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs 61505324, 61505340, 61505366, 61505379, and 61505382, each generating 11 to 12 task orders) related to facility operations and maintenance. The Economic Development Administration awarded a $3.375 million Project Grant (CFDA 11.300) on June 14, 2022, supporting public works infrastructure including concrete roadway, water and sewer lines, and curb improvements across Webb County to attract industrial and commercial development.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Federal Transit Administration, which accounts for 57 of the recent 156 total awards tracked. The top five customer agencies cover 93% of awards. The organization operates as a 100% prime recipient across all work; no sub-award activity is present. All nine distinct federal customer agencies fund grant work only, with no competitive contract vehicles or IDIQs in the award portfolio. Ten awards totaling $934 thousand in combined potential value are approaching completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor's primary NAICS concentration is Water Supply and Irrigation Systems (78 awards), with secondary concentration in PSC Housekeeping—Waste Treatment/Storage (64 awards) and Utilities—Water (14 awards), reflecting its dual mission as transit authority and water utility. All grants carry no sub-recipient involvement; performance is conducted directly by the City of Laredo in Laredo, Texas.
