City Of Postville

City of Postville, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Postville, Iowa, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants for community infrastructure and public safety programs, with no federal contracting footprint and no role as a contract prime or subcontractor.

The city's recent federal award activity consists of three grants across three agencies over the past four years. As a prime grant recipient, the City of Postville received a $125 thousand Community Oriented Policing Program grant (CFDA 16.710) from the Department of Justice, Offices Boards and Divisions, Community Oriented Policing Program, with an award period running from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2027. Grant funds support the Postville Police Department's hiring of additional career law enforcement officers to expand community policing capacity and develop collaborative partnerships with community members and organizations to prevent and disrupt crime. The city also received a Community Facilities grant from the Department of Agriculture, Rural Housing Service, awarded September 9, 2024 and completed the same day. In its sub-recipient role, the city received a 5% Warning Siren grant sub-award from the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department (the prime grantee and a Federal Emergency Management Agency pass-through entity) on August 7, 2026.

Customer concentration is distributed evenly across three agencies, each with one award. Combined dollars obligated across all three awards total $219 thousand. Award frequency is sparse — one award in 2022, one in 2024, and one in 2026 — with no indication of sustained pipeline or growth trajectory. The city does not compete for federal contracts, sits on no procurement vehicles, and generates no sub-award volume beyond the single FEMA-pass-through warning siren grant.
