City Of Pullman

City of Pullman is a U.S. local government entity based in Pullman, Washington, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure development and regional transportation projects, with 92% of recent awards held in the prime role and 8% as a sub-recipient on state pass-through grants.

The City operates across two principal federal grant portfolios. Its dominant footprint sits with the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and related infrastructure accounts, where the city has received twenty-four awards from the FAA's Northwest Mountain Region totaling approximately $72 million in combined potential value for phased construction of a new 45,000 square foot terminal building, 48,000 square yard terminal apron expansion, and ancillary airfield infrastructure at Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. Representative work includes a $21 million multi-phase project grant awarded June 10, 2022, covering terminal construction (phases 5–7 and 14), apron construction (phases 1–4), runway realignment, and taxiway work; a $6.7 million delivery awarded July 10, 2023, for phase 12 terminal construction (additional post-secure gate area and third passenger boarding bridge); a $1.154 million aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle acquisition awarded September 10, 2025; and a $579,280 apron expansion phase grant awarded June 3, 2026. A second grant portfolio routes through the Washington State Department of Transportation as prime grantee, funding pavement rehabilitation, pedestrian infrastructure, traffic signal controls, and fixed-route transit service sustainability across Pullman's municipal boundaries. The city holds twelve sub-recipient awards under WSDOT pass-throughs, including pavement and curb ramp rehabilitation (September 23, 2024), traffic signal controller installation (October 25, 2024), shared-use path construction with ADA accessibility (September 23–24, 2024), and fixed-route transit service sustenance (July 2 and September 19, 2025).

Customer concentration reflects the FAA's dominance in award count and volume. The FAA's Northwest Mountain Region and national office account for 49 of 157 total awards in the source dataset (spanning contract, grant, and sub-award records); the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service Central Office accounts for 14 awards totaling $4.9 million in combined potential value; and the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration appears in 8 awards. The city also received one Rural Business Cooperative Services grant (July 27, 2021, ultimate completion July 27, 2023). Activity has flattened in recent years—nine awards in 2022, five in 2023, nine in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026—suggesting the terminal and apron expansion phases are nearing completion. Combined potential value across all recent awards stands at $14.7 million, though obligated dollars totaling $333.1 million (2,270% of potential value) reflect the full funding of multi-year infrastructure projects already underway.

The City of Pullman's non-grant footprint routes primarily through two GSA Basic Ordering Agreements: GS10B06495, holding 45 task orders with $49,000 in combined potential value, and GS10B06907, holding 42 task orders with $13.9 million in combined potential value. These BOAs support real property leasing and facility management services. The top NAICS code across the award portfolio is 531110 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings except Miniwarehouses), with 89 awards, and the top PSC is Lease/Rental of Office Buildings, with 49 awards. This classification reflects the City's role as a property owner leasing or making available space to federal agencies rather than a service provider.
