Bingham County

Bingham County Sheriff, a U.S. local government entity based in Blackfoot, Idaho, receives federal funding as a grant recipient and occasional contract awardee, primarily for law enforcement operations, traffic safety enforcement, and recreational facility maintenance across multiple federal agencies. The organization operates as both a prime recipient on federal grants and a sub-recipient on pass-through awards from state intermediaries, with no significant presence on federal contract vehicles or IDIQs.

Bingham County Sheriff's federal footprint centers on traffic safety and law enforcement grant work. As a prime recipient, the organization holds a Bureau of Reclamation project grant awarded August 24, 2022, for operations and maintenance of Sportsman's Park near Aberdeen, Idaho — a multi-use recreational facility adjacent to the American Falls Reservoir with campground duties, bathroom cleaning, guest check-in, security, mowing, pest control, and general upkeep running through September 30, 2027. The organization also holds a $4,000 Department of the Interior Idaho Region purchase order issued May 26, 2026, for work completing June 30, 2031. As a sub-recipient, Bingham County Sheriff participates in multiple federal grant programs funneled through the Idaho Department of Transportation, including the Click It, Don't Risk It enforcement campaign, Traffic Enforcement Program grants under the federal 402 grant category, Distracted Driving Awareness campaigns, and impaired driving high-visibility enforcement mobilizations — awards spanning October 2023 through October 2024. The organization also receives sub-award funding under the State Highway Safety Program (SHSP) and the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (8 sub-awards across traffic enforcement campaigns) and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (7 awards, $49 thousand combined potential value), which together account for 78% of recent awards. The combined potential value across all 23 recent awards stands at $50 thousand, though reported obligated dollars ($2 million) substantially exceed this figure, indicating historical funding flows and multi-year commitments. Activity shows modest growth from a single 2021 award to six awards in 2024, with recent work concentrated in calendar-year 2023 and 2024 cycles. The organization has no subcontract relationships with federal prime contractors and no seats on government-wide vehicles; its federal engagement is direct to agencies or through state pass-through intermediaries such as the Idaho Department of Transportation.
