Department Of Public Lands

Department Of Public Lands, a local government entity headquartered in Susupe, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, acts as a prime recipient of federal disaster relief and environmental grants from FEMA and the Environmental Protection Agency. The entity has no federal contracting footprint; all 29 awards in the source span grant funding only, making it a pure grant recipient rather than a vendor in the traditional federal contracting sense.

Department Of Public Lands operates as a U.S. local government entity and does not compete for contracts or subcontract work. Its entire award portfolio consists of 100% prime grant awards, with zero subcontracts or sub-recipient relationships across the source data. The entity's customer base is concentrated in two federal agencies: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (which accounts for 25 awards across two tracking lines — FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards and FEMA proper) and the Environmental Protection Agency (4 awards). FEMA dominates the grant funding, representing the vast majority of the combined $1.17 billion obligated across all awards since 2004.

The recent grant portfolio centers on disaster recovery and hazard mitigation. A $2.46 million Disaster Grants - Public Assistance award (CFDA 97.036) from FEMA HQ Financial Assistance Awards, dated July 18, 2026, funds debris removal, emergency protective measures, and restoration or replacement of qualified disaster-damaged public and nonprofit facilities in the Northern Mariana Islands, with completion by September 30, 2026. A $382,703 Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program award (CFDA 97.032) from FEMA, dated June 30, 2026, extends through the same completion date and supports recovery assistance for disaster-affected families. Prior awards include a Hazard Mitigation Grants Program (HMGP) award from May 26, 2026, a pandemic emergency protective measures reimbursement award from November 2023, and a repair and replacement grant for disaster-damaged facilities from June 2024. Award activity remains sparse — one per year in 2021 through 2024, with three awards in 2026 — suggesting episodic grant application tied to declared disasters or federal program cycles rather than sustained contracting engagement.

This vendor profile is relevant for federal contractors primarily in partnership or sub-recipient scenarios where local government pass-through or co-applicant participation is required for FEMA or EPA grant programs in U.S. territories. Department Of Public Lands does not appear as a procurement vehicle, integrator, or service provider in the federal contracting market.
