City Of Prairie DU Chien

City of Prairie du Chien, operating through its Fire Department, is a U.S. local government entity in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting public safety infrastructure and community facilities rather than as a federal contractor. The vendor holds no federal contract vehicles and does not compete for contract work; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards where it acts as the prime recipient (26% of recent awards) or as a sub-recipient (74%).

The City of Prairie du Chien's grant work centers on fire services, emergency response, and critical infrastructure. Its flagship award is a $4.95 million Community Facilities Loans and Grants (CFDA 10.766) grant from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, dated January 14, 2026, running through January 14, 2028, directed toward essential community facility development with emphasis on public safety enhancements. As a sub-recipient, the City participates in awards from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation covering snow removal equipment acquisition and master planning, awards from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin for facility response coordination, and awards supporting cyber threat protection for municipal computer systems and public facilities operations.

The City's customer concentration is low and dispersed. The top five agencies named in recent awards account for 47% of award count and span aviation, rural utilities, rural housing, economic development, and environmental protection — the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region leads by volume with five awards, but no single agency dominates the portfolio. Combined obligations across all awards total $10.3 million. Activity has trended upward from two awards in 2020 to five in 2026 year-to-date, though the overall footprint remains small relative to typical federal contractor volumes. One award is scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure.

The City operates as a sub-recipient in grant pass-throughs from the State of Wisconsin, indicating a local-government coordination model rather than direct federal agency relationships. As a municipal entity, the City does not hold SBA certifications and does not compete on federal procurement vehicles; its engagement model is purely grant-based, supporting local infrastructure, public safety, and critical services delivery in rural Wisconsin.
