County Of Clark

County Of Clark, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Dubois, Idaho, acts as a federal grant recipient and occasional contract performer providing law enforcement support, water rights management, and land stewardship services to Interior Department agencies, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Department of Transportation. The county operates overwhelmingly as a prime recipient (88% of recent awards), with minimal subcontract exposure, and competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

County Of Clark's customer base concentrates heavily within the Department of the Interior. The top five funding agencies account for 70% of recent awards by count, anchored by the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (11 awards, $76 thousand combined potential value) and the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (4 awards, $103 thousand combined potential value). The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the Forest Service round out the active set. The potential-value ranking reflects Fish and Wildlife Service dominance slightly more than the award-count ranking, driven by a larger per-award dollar baseline, but customer concentration remains Interior-focused across both metrics.

County Of Clark's recent federal activity spans two prime contracts and one prime grant. A February 2026 purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region awards $4,000 for the Idaho Falls District Law Enforcement Sheriff Contract, running through June 2031 and providing law enforcement patrol services in Dubois, Idaho. A May 2023 purchase order from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 provides $47,347 for water rights services at Camas National Wildlife Refuge, with completion scheduled for February 2028. A September 2025 cooperative agreement from the Bureau of Land Management funds noxious and invasive weed treatment and control on BLM-managed and adjacent private lands in Clark County, with work continuing through September 2030. The county performs 90 to 150 acres of annual weed treatment in Spencer Dry Creek, Kilgore, and Medicine Lodge Edie Creek areas and surveys approximately 2,000 acres of infested terrain each year.

County Of Clark operates as a sub-recipient under Idaho state pass-through agreements on four federal grants. The county's sheriff department participates in traffic safety campaigns funded through Idaho Department of Transportation sub-awards: the Click It, Don't Risk It enforcement campaign and impaired driving high visibility enforcement mobilizations (both October 2024). The Idaho Department of Lands funds hazard fuel treatment work on non-federal lands within Clark County to reduce roadside fire starts and compartmentalize fire spread (April 2024). Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2021, two in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, one in 2026 — with a combined potential value across all awards of $296 thousand but combined obligated dollars of $1.6 million, reflecting multi-year execution on smaller contracts and grants. One award ($47 thousand) faces recompete in the next twenty-four months.
