City Of Orlando

City Of Orlando Accounting And Control Division, the accounting and administrative division of the City of Orlando municipality located in Orlando, Florida, is a federal grant recipient (66% of recent awards as prime recipient) and subrecipient, operating as a U.S. local government entity. The division administers federal formula grants and project awards across community development, housing assistance, public safety, and environmental programs, with no prime federal contracts but direct involvement in secured parking services and Federal Executive Placement Assistance delivery as a contractor.

The Accounting and Control Division's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Planning and Development office, which accounts for 82 awards under formula programs including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (RUSH). The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 59 awards, primarily disaster-recovery sub-awards routed through the Florida Division of Emergency Management following Hurricane Ian and other events. The HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity placed 26 awards for fair-housing complaint processing and administrative support. Together, these three agencies drive 62% of the division's award volume. By dollar magnitude, the division's top-funded relationship is the U.S. Attorney's Offices, which placed a five-year secured parking services purchase order valued at $283,200 (October 2026 through September 2031) for 40 reserved parking spaces at the George C. Young Federal Building and Courthouse in Orlando. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission placed two definitive contracts for Federal Executive Placement Assistance valued at $17,000 (FY26) and $8,115 (FY25), with a track record of similar awards in the $10,000–$21,000 range.

Recent activity shows growth and then moderation: the division received 13 awards in 2022, climbing to 56 in 2024, then declining to 26 in 2025 and 20 in 2026. Nine awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity for formula grant renewals. The combined potential value across 320 awards (210 prime, 110 sub) reported in the source is $2.3 million, but combined obligated dollars total $340.2 million — a signal that the portfolio carries substantial multi-year federal commitments with obligations far outpacing line-item potential values, particularly in disaster-recovery pass-throughs where state and federal share percentages vary by project. By NAICS category, the division's work clusters around Human Rights Organizations (9 awards, reflecting fair-housing and workforce programs), Parking Lots and Garages (8 awards, the secured parking contract), and miscellaneous schools and instruction (3 awards, including 21st Century Community Learning Centers sub-awards through the Florida Department of Education).

The Accounting and Control Division operates as a sub-recipient on the majority of its federal grant activity. Prime grantors include HUD's Community Planning and Development office (CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, RUSH formula allocations and economic development project grants), HUD's Fair Housing office (fair-housing cooperative agreements), the Bureau of Justice Assistance (law enforcement equipment and program grants including body-worn camera, in-car camera, forensics accreditation, and community violence intervention funding), the Office of the National Drug Control Policy (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area — HIDTA — Project Grants for FY25 and FY26), and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (a $752,000 project grant for the Citysprouts community food enterprise, awarded September 2025 with a four-year performance period). The division also holds a $262,500 cooperative agreement from EPA Region 4 for wetland program development (CFDA 66.461), active November 2021–October 2023. Most of its FEMA recovery activity flows through state pass-throughs — the Florida Division of Emergency Management (more than 50 sub-awards for Hurricane Ian debris removal, sanitary collection system repairs, water reclamation facility damage recovery, and lift station rehabilitation) and the Florida Department of Transportation (traffic enforcement overtime and complete streets improvements). The division additionally receives sub-awards through the Florida Department of Education (21st Century Community Learning Centers), Florida Commission on Community Service (Operation AmeriCorps), and Florida Department of Law Enforcement (JAG equipment grants).

The division's portfolio reflects the administrative and operational needs of a mid-size urban municipality: grant administration overhead (fair-housing complaint processing, planning activities), infrastructure resilience and maintenance (stormwater, wastewater, wetland conservation), public safety capacity (forensics, body-worn cameras, traffic enforcement overtime), homelessness and housing assistance (emergency shelter, rapid re-housing, rapid unsheltered survivor housing), community development (CDBG-eligible activities in low-to-moderate-income neighborhoods), workforce and youth development (AmeriCorps, 21st Century Community Learning Centers), and local food security. Activity from 2022 onward documents post-pandemic grant surge and catastrophic-event recovery; the source material reflects awards issued after January 20, 2025, which may or may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration, per source note on pre-inauguration awards.
