City Of Raymond

City Of Raymond, a municipal government entity operating as Public Works and the Fire Department division in Raymond, Washington, acts as a prime recipient and sub-recipient on federal grants focused on community facilities and local infrastructure. The city operates outside the federal contracting market — it holds no federal contract vehicles and no prime contract awards — and participates in the federal grant ecosystem exclusively as a grant recipient under USDA Rural Housing Service Community Facilities programs.

The city's federal footprint is sparse and narrowly concentrated. Over the past several years, City Of Raymond has received four total awards across prime and sub recipient roles, with combined dollars obligated totaling $2.5 million and work flowing from a single customer agency: the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service Community Facilities division. The prime/sub split favors sub-recipient work — three of the four awards (75%) are sub-awards, indicating that City Of Raymond typically participates as a sub-recipient within larger federal grant structures rather than as a direct prime recipient. The city received one prime grant award: a Community Facility Grants project grant from USDA Rural Housing Service, awarded September 17, 2024, with ultimate completion the same date. Sub-award activity includes an American Legion Veteran Housing and Resource Center award dated April 21, 2025, and a Comprehensive Plan Update sub-award dated November 5, 2021.

Activity is episodic rather than recurring — one award per year across 2019, 2021, 2024, and 2025 with no pattern suggesting sustained volume. The city's role as a sub-recipient on housing and planning grants reflects typical municipal positioning in federal community development and infrastructure programs rather than a competitive contracting footprint. City Of Raymond does not hold parent vehicles, BPAs, or IDIQs and does not operate as a federal contractor.
