Mandan Airport Authority

Mandan Airport Authority, a local government entity operating Mandan Municipal Airport in Mandan, North Dakota, receives federal infrastructure grants from the Federal Aviation Administration to rehabilitate and maintain airport facilities and access infrastructure. The entity operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards) with no federal contract prime or subcontractor footprint; all work is performed directly by the authority on its own airport assets.

Mandan Airport Authority's federal activity consists entirely of FAA grants under two programs: the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). Recent grants fund phased infrastructure rehabilitation projects at Mandan Municipal Airport spanning 2022 through 2030. Representative work includes a $1.44 million Airport Improvement Program grant awarded May 31, 2026, to fund Phase 1 construction of 515 feet of terminal access road as part of a broader multi-year project encompassing taxilane expansion and rehabilitation, apron resurfacing, and parking lot rehabilitation; a $152,429.47 Infrastructure Grants award dated June 15, 2026, for the final construction phase of a 1,320-foot terminal access road rehabilitation (805 feet of new access road); and earlier grants in August 2024 supporting airport drainage and erosion control infrastructure through construction of 2,490 linear feet of underdrains (Phase 1) and 1,499 linear feet of underdrains (Phase 2). Prior-year grants from July 2022 funded pavement sealing and crack repair on apron, taxiway, and access road surfaces to extend useful life. The authority also received American Rescue Plan Act pandemic relief funding in January 2022 to support airport operations, personnel costs, and sanitization during COVID-19 response.

Mandan Airport Authority's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Federal Aviation Administration, with 14 awards from FAA's Great Lakes Region and 10 awards from the FAA nationally (96% of total award count). The authority has received 25 total federal grants since 2008, with recent activity showing one award in 2021, three in 2022, two in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026.
