City Of Manchester

City Of Manchester, a U.S. local government entity based in Manchester, Georgia, receives federal grants as a prime recipient rather than competing for contracts; the vendor has secured eight total federal awards across multiple agencies, including two as a sub-recipient, with activity spanning infrastructure, emergency response, and water safety programs since 2009.

City Of Manchester operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not as a prime contractor or subcontractor on procurements. The city acts as prime recipient on six awards (75% of recent activity) and as sub-recipient on two awards (25%), primarily through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency. The most recent substantial award is a $179,910 Project Grant from FEMA under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program (CFDA 97.044), awarded September 27, 2025, with completion scheduled for September 26, 2027. That AFG funding supports operational needs including equipment acquisition, personnel training to recognized standards, personal protective equipment, facility modifications, emergency response vehicle purchases, and health and wellness programs for emergency responders. City Of Manchester also acts as sub-recipient under the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority on two water infrastructure awards related to lead service line inventory in the municipal drinking water system, dated January 31, 2024 and May 15, 2026.

Funding spreads across six distinct federal agencies. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 and FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for four awards combined (88% of recent award count), with EPA Region 4 appearing twice and FEMA HQ twice. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service and Rural Housing Service complete the customer base with one award each. The combined potential value across all eight awards is only $3,000 in reported terms, though obligated dollars total $4 million — a signal that the valuation methodology in the source may not capture the full scope of FEMA and EPA sub-grant performance. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a single recompete opportunity in that window.
