City of McCook's grant footprint centers on airport infrastructure and community safety. The Federal Aviation Administration's Central Region has issued eight prime grants under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), totaling $1.356 million in combined potential value, to construct and expand a fuel farm at McCook's nonprimary airport, including two fuel storage tanks, two self-service pumps, and associated apron pavement scheduled for completion by July 20, 2029. Three of these FAA awards were issued in 2025–2026. Additional prime grants include a $198,707.70 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (CFDA 97.044) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded August 30, 2021 to support fire department equipment and firefighter safety, and a School Violence Prevention Program grant from the Community Oriented Policing Program awarded October 1, 2021 for school safety and security improvements. City of McCook also received American Rescue Plan Act economic relief funding (November 24, 2021 through November 23, 2025) to support airport operations, personnel, cleaning, and debt service related to COVID-19 response. As a sub-recipient, the city receives Section 5311 operating and non-operating transit assistance (awards dated May 27, 2026; August 6, 2025; and July 8, 2025), and on April 22, 2026 received sub-award funding from the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska for a McCook Tree Removal and Replacement Project.

City of McCook's customer base is concentrated but diverse across nine federal agencies. The General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing anchors 14 awards with $1.8 million in combined potential value under two GSA Basic Ordering Agreements (GS06B30018 with 74 task orders and GS06B90033 with 18 task orders), representing real estate and building-leasing activity. The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (combined 14 awards across its Central Region office and headquarters) drives the second-largest concentration through airport infrastructure grants. The Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration, the Community Oriented Policing Program under the Department of Justice, and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation round out the named customer set.

City of McCook's award activity shows volatility over the past five years, with two awards in 2019 rising to six in 2021, declining to three in 2020, then dropping to four in 2025 and three in 2026. Combined potential value across all 127 awards (prime and sub) stands at $5.2 million, with obligated dollars at $6.5 million. The city's category concentration reflects its dual role as a real-estate leaseholder and airport operator: 94 of 127 awards fall under Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses), driven by GSA building-lease task orders, while three awards involve water supply and irrigation systems.
