County Of Brewster

County of Brewster, a county government entity headquartered in Alpine, Texas, operates as a federal grant recipient and occasional service provider to federal agencies, with work split between direct prime grants (59% of recent awards) and sub-recipient positions on federal grants (41%). The county does not hold federal contracts as a prime or sub, and does not sit on federal contract vehicles; its federal activity centers on law enforcement, public safety, and disaster-management grant programs.

County of Brewster's customer base spans seven federal agencies, concentrated in law enforcement and emergency-management grant funding. The Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) dominates by award count with nine grants under the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program (CFDA 95.001), spanning 2022 through 2026. The Executive Office of the President placed three awards; the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance, three; the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service, two; and the Department of the Army, two. The two contract awards from the Department of the Army carry only $30 thousand in combined potential value—a $24 thousand purchase order for conference-room and latrine-supply service in Alpine (ultimate completion June 2030) and a $6 thousand fire-station room rental order (ultimate completion June 2026).

On the grant side, County of Brewster receives HIDTA funding as prime recipient for multi-year cooperative law enforcement initiatives with state, local, and tribal agencies aimed at disrupting drug trafficking. A $796 thousand two-year HIDTA grant ran from January 2022 through December 2023. The county also acts as sub-recipient on grants from ONDCP and the Department of Justice, typically for border-security and law-enforcement equipment and training. Named sub-grant work includes the Brewster County Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) project, awarded multiple times since 2022, for border-enforcement equipment and overtime support; a P25-compatible communications-equipment upgrade for the Sheriff's Office (awarded June 2026); an ALERRT Active Shooter Training Kit under a Texas Governor's Office grant (awarded May 2024); and a crime-victim coordinator project providing legal advocacy and crisis counseling under a Governor's Office sub-grant (awarded April 2022).

Recent activity shows flat to modest volume—four awards in 2022, declining to two in 2023, then three in 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, minimizing near-term recompete exposure. The discrepancy between combined potential value ($30 thousand) and combined obligated dollars ($8.2 million) reflects the source's capture of only the two recent Army purchase orders in the "combined potential value" field while obligated dollars include all multi-year grant awards across the historical portfolio. County of Brewster's federal footprint is characteristic of a regional county government participating in federal law-enforcement and public-safety grant programs rather than competing for commercial federal contracts.
