County Of Allen Ohio

County Of Allen Ohio, a local government entity headquartered in Lima, Ohio, acts as a recipient of federal grants rather than a federal contractor; its footprint consists almost entirely of sub-recipient awards (96% of 159 total awards) flowing through Ohio state agencies under health, transportation, social services, and emergency management programs.

The entity's grant activity has grown sharply — from 11 awards in 2022 to 88 in 2024, with 27 awards in 2025 and 9 in 2026 — though the reported combined potential value of $9 thousand across all awards is a data artifact reflecting the way federal grant sub-awards are recorded; the combined dollars obligated across the portfolio total $20.7 million. County Of Allen Ohio does not sit on federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; it participates exclusively in federal grant programs as a sub-recipient downstream of Ohio state agencies. The sole prime grant award in the portfolio is a $230,400 project grant from the Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program (CFDA 20.939), awarded July 16, 2026, to develop a 2025 Safety Action Plan with a performance period through July 16, 2029 and work performed in Lima, Ohio.

The county's customer concentration reflects its operational role as a local administrator and service provider within Ohio's state-administered federal grant ecosystem. Top funding agencies by sub-award count include the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (14 awards), the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (13 awards), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (12 and 10 awards split across two CDC program lines), along with the Health Resources and Services Administration (10 awards). These five agency lines account for 37% of awards. The grant portfolio spans public health, social services, emergency management, transportation, community development, and early intervention programming. Representative sub-grant work includes early intervention service coordination for the Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities (multiple awards from the Ohio Departments of Children and Youth and Developmental Disabilities), bridge preservation and roadway improvement funding from the Ohio Department of Transportation, WIC nutrition services and immunization programs from the Ohio Department of Health, harm reduction and naloxone access expansion from the Ohio Department of Mental Health, social services block grant pass-through awards from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and emergency management performance grants from the Ohio Department of Public Safety.

County Of Allen Ohio maintains two named subsidiaries: the Allen County Regional Airport Authority and the Allen Metropolitan Housing Authority, both structured as local government entities. The corporate structure reflects typical county government organization; no private commercial subsidiaries are present. As a local government unit, the entity does not compete for contracts under set-aside categories and does not operate as a prime contractor or teaming partner. The award footprint characterizes the county as an administrative pass-through and local service-delivery entity for federal and state public health, social welfare, transportation, and emergency preparedness programming targeting Allen County residents in the Lima, Ohio area.
