County Of Coffee

County Of Coffee, a Tennessee county government entity based in Manchester, operates as a federal grant recipient (9% of recent awards as prime recipient) and predominantly as a sub-recipient under state pass-through arrangements (91% of awards). The county has no federal prime contracts and does not hold seats on government-wide contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards, with the vast majority flowing through Tennessee state agencies as the direct grantee.

County Of Coffee's recent grant portfolio concentrates in three core capability areas: roadway safety planning and infrastructure, substance abuse and mental health treatment services for families, and local public health and emergency management support. As prime recipient, the county holds three named Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) grants from the Federal Highway Administration totaling $477,000 across two awards — a $265,000 supplemental action plan grant (awarded March 26, 2026, completing July 1, 2027) and a $212,000 grant awarded August 13, 2026 for roadway safety initiatives in Manchester, Tennessee, completing August 13, 2029. The county also received a $265,000 project grant from the SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (awarded September 30, 2024, completing September 29, 2029) to expand the Coffee County Family Treatment Court program, which serves parents facing child custodial removal on grounds of abuse or neglect, providing substance use and mental health services to up to 20 unique participants and their families annually.

In its sub-recipient role, County Of Coffee receives the vast majority of federal funding through the Tennessee Department of Health, which passes through local health services grants, emergency management performance grants, food and nutrition program awards (including the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), and coronavirus relief funds for facility renovations. The county also receives emergency management sub-awards from FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards (33 sub-awards across the portfolio) and homeland security grant program pass-throughs from the Department of Homeland Security. A named subsidiary, the Coffee County Drug Court Foundation Inc., is a non-profit organization that may serve as a vehicle for grant sub-awards.

Across 111 total awards with combined obligated dollars of $11.1 million, the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards dominate by count (33 awards, 47% of the top five customer agencies), followed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (10 awards) and the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (3 awards), with the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Health Resources and Services Administration each contributing three awards. Activity peaked in 2022 with 42 awards (primarily sub-awards flowing through state pass-through mechanisms), declining to 4 awards in both 2025 and 2026. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in that window. County Of Coffee does not compete for federal contracts and operates as a recipient entity without federal contractor compliance infrastructure.
