City Of Manassas

City Of Manassas, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, operates as a federal grant recipient in airport infrastructure and public safety, with limited federal contract activity; the majority of its federal footprint consists of FAA Airport Improvement Program grants and Department of Justice law enforcement grants, supplemented by pass-through grants from state agencies and a single Navy lease contract for hangar space.

The city's federal customer base spans 18 distinct agencies, though concentration is diffuse across grant funders. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region leads by award count with 20 grants, followed by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (16 awards), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (13 awards), and the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (12 awards). The Department of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service Quantico represents the only meaningful contract vehicle: a December 4, 2024 lease of two hangars at Manassas Regional Airport valued at $128,217.84, with performance through December 4, 2027, issued as a firm fixed-price purchase order with no set-aside designation.

Airport capital infrastructure dominates the prime grant portfolio. The city holds multiple FAA grants under CFDA 20.106 (Airport Improvement Program) for runway and taxiway reconstruction, including a $1,073,545.26 formula grant (August 18, 2025, through August 17, 2029) for Phase 1 design of Runway 16L/34R rehabilitation; a $723,157.89 project grant (June 5, 2025, through June 4, 2029) for access road reconstruction; a $2,731,111.11 project grant (June 4, 2024, through June 3, 2028) for access road modification (Phase 1 of 3); and multiple grants from 2022–2023 for taxiway lighting, taxiway B reconstruction, and taxilane Y reconstruction. The city also holds a $710,526.32 FAA Airport Infrastructure Grants award (July 15, 2026, through June 3, 2028, CFDA 20.117) for access road reconstruction. Law enforcement grants include two Bureau of Justice Assistance block grants to the Manassas City Police Department: one for $2,100,000 (October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2025) and another for equipment and training (October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2024). The city also received a $148,000 COVID-19 relief grant from FAA (January 12, 2022, through January 11, 2026) and a $1,200,000 cooperative agreement from EPA Region 3 (January 3, 2023, through March 15, 2025) for drinking water transmission main replacement under the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

The city acts as a sub-recipient on 43 awards, primarily pass-through allocations from the Virginia Department of Social Services and Virginia Department of Transportation for local social services and transportation projects including sidewalk construction, road widening, signal replacements, and shared-use paths. One sub-award from the Department of Criminal Justice Services Virginia (July 1, 2025) supports police technology upgrades including surveillance cameras and forensic computers.

Activity has accelerated in recent years—six awards in 2022 to nineteen in 2024, with seventeen awards in 2025—though the combined potential value across all 113 awards totals only $421 thousand, a figure that reflects the source's measurement convention and masks the actual obligated value of $75.7 million invoiced across the portfolio. Three awards (combined potential value $128 thousand) face completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete pressure. The city's federal work concentrates on airport operations and law enforcement capacity building in its local jurisdiction, with no private-sector contract partnerships or IDV vehicle seats beyond a single listing on the Federal Supply Schedule GS11B51052.
