Commonwealth Of Kentucky

The Commonwealth of Kentucky is a U.S. state government entity headquartered in Frankfort, Kentucky, registered with SAM.gov since October 11, 2001. As the executive branch of Kentucky's state government, the Commonwealth provides a diverse array of services to federal agencies through federal contract and grant awards spanning transportation infrastructure, public health, emergency management, workforce development, and law enforcement operations. The entity serves as the administrative conduit through which multiple state agencies—including the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Department of Military Affairs, Cabinet for Health and Family Services, and Department of State Police—deliver federally funded services and infrastructure improvements across Kentucky's 120 counties.

Through federal contracts, the Commonwealth of Kentucky and its subsidiaries, particularly the Health Services Kentucky Cabinet and Kentucky Department of State Police, have provided specialized services in vital statistics management and forensic analysis. The Health Services Kentucky Cabinet received firm-fixed-price purchase orders from the Social Security Administration valued at $1,775,233.70 for the Enumeration at Birth and Race and Ethnicity Records program, demonstrating the Cabinet's capability to process high-volume transactional data for federal social security initiatives through June 28, 2029. Additionally, the Cabinet executed delivery orders under an Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including a $311,340 delivery order supporting the National Center for Health Statistics Vital Statistics Cooperative Program and a $34,482 purchase order for 2024 NDA Data processing. These contracts showcase the Commonwealth's expertise in managing federal health data initiatives and vital records documentation. The Department of State Police held a separate federal contract vehicle with the U.S. Army Sustainment Command—a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $65,513,285.61 for food service and facilities management operations at military installations including Fort Knox and Fort Campbell through November 2028, demonstrating the Commonwealth's capability to deliver comprehensive logistics and operational support services to Department of Defense installations.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has been a prolific recipient of federal grant awards, with particularly substantial funding concentrated in transportation infrastructure through the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). Since May 2023, the Commonwealth received over $100 million in formula and project grants for highway improvements, bridge replacements, pavement rehabilitation, safety enhancements, and planning activities across Kentucky counties. Specific projects included $18.9 million for US Route 60 improvements in Boyd County, $6.49 million for Interstate 71 and Interstate 265 lane expansion and interchange work in Jefferson and Oldham counties, and multiple bridge rehabilitation projects such as $1,992,600 for addressing deficiencies on Interstate 64 at the Kentucky River in Franklin County. The Commonwealth also received substantial emergency management and disaster recovery grants, including a $14,733,386 Project Grant from FEMA for the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, a $5,515,786 Emergency Management Performance Grant, and a $4,847,500 Homeland Security Grant Program award to support state and local terrorism prevention and emergency response capabilities. Additional significant grant programs included $9,984,876 from the Department of Education for adult education and literacy services, $832,443 from the Bureau of Justice Assistance for the Kentucky State Police Missing Persons and Unidentified Human Remains program expansion, $1,700,000 from the Department of Defense for the COMPETES project supporting economic modernization and military installation resilience, $400,000 from the Small Business Administration State Trade Expansion Program to support small business exports, and ongoing formula grants from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living totaling approximately $398,190 for developmental disabilities support and advocacy. The Commonwealth also administered substantial Federal Transit Administration grants for public transportation, including rural transit operations and capital equipment purchases exceeding $24 million annually, as well as housing and community development programs through grants administered by the Kentucky Department for Local Government supporting home construction and rehabilitation for low-income homebuyers across multiple counties.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the U.S. Army Sustainment Command valued at $65,513,285.61, awarded November 28, 2023, with performance extending through November 30, 2028. This IDC, which contains no small business set-aside designation, is administered through the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, a division of the Commonwealth, and covers a comprehensive range of food service and facilities management operations at military installations primarily located at Fort Knox and Fort Campbell in Kentucky. Under this vehicle, the Commonwealth has received multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million dollars, with individual task orders covering periods from several months to multiple years and encompassing dining facility operations, attendant labor services, remote site feeding operations, and building maintenance and management functions. The delivery orders demonstrate the Army's reliance on the Commonwealth's logistical and operational capabilities to sustain critical support functions across its major Kentucky installations, contributing directly to military readiness and installation operations. No parent contract vehicles were identified in the award documentation, indicating this is a standalone IDC relationship between the Commonwealth and Army Sustainment Command.
