County Of Crook

County Of Crook, doing business as Crook County, is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Prineville, Oregon, that operates as a federal grant recipient (45% of recent awards) and contract prime (primarily land rental, law enforcement patrol, and airport infrastructure) with no SBA certifications. The entity also receives federal funding as a sub-recipient through state intermediaries, notably the Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Department of Justice. Crook County competes full-and-open across all award types with no set-aside designations.

The county's prime capability portfolio centers on airport infrastructure and aviation facilities management, public lands law enforcement, and land rental services in Central Oregon. Representative work includes a $4.47 million FAA Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) project grant awarded in September 2024 to reconstruct 3,500 feet of Runway 15/33, install airfield guidance signage, construct taxiway connectors, and rebuild runway lighting at Prineville Airport through September 2028 (Phase 2 construction); a $328.78 thousand FAA grant awarded July 2026 for design of Phase 1 runway rehabilitation at the same facility; and a $615.79 thousand FAA project grant from January 2025 for design and construction of a 15,000 square-foot sponsor-owned aircraft hangar. On the law enforcement side, Crook County holds a $43.95 thousand purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management (Oregon-Washington Region) for law enforcement patrol services on public lands, waters, roads, and trails with performance running through December 2029. Land rental contracts include a $16.19 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Interior Region 6 for land rental services in Prineville (completed August 2026) and minimal-value parcel leasing to BLM facilities.

Customer concentration reflects heavy reliance on regional federal land and transportation agencies. The Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region anchors the portfolio with twelve awards driving the majority of recent dollars, and the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region places ten awards ($284 thousand combined potential value) for law enforcement and land management support. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the Forest Service (Pacific Northwest Region) round out the active set, collectively covering 65% of recent awards. Award volume has grown from five in 2022 to fourteen in 2026, though the combined potential value ($359 thousand) is modest relative to obligated dollars ($14.1 million), indicating that actual invoiced revenue substantially exceeds ceiling values across the portfolio. Only one award faces completion and potential recompete in the next twenty-four months.

As a sub-recipient, Crook County receives federal health and public safety funding routed through the Oregon Health Authority (mental health services, public health financial assistance, reproductive health infrastructure support), the Oregon Department of Justice (victims of crime services), and the Oregon Department of Human Services (youth development programming). These sub-awards reflect pass-through funding for county-administered health, safety, and human services — not purchased goods or services from the county. The county also operates as a sub-recipient of federal emergency management grants (EMPG and FEMA vaccination reimbursement) and a Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment grant for military airspace and energy planning.
