County Of Eagle

County of Eagle, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Eagle, Colorado, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across infrastructure, workforce development, and public health programs, with no federal contracting activity and minimal sub-award exposure routed through Colorado state agencies and nonprofit partners.

The county's federal footprint centers on Federal Aviation Administration airport infrastructure grants administered through the Northwest Mountain Region. Between 2021 and 2026, County of Eagle received approximately 21 prime FAA grants totaling roughly $26.1 million under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for taxiway construction, rehabilitation, and design work at Eagle County Regional Airport in Gypsum, Colorado. Representative awards include a $5.44 million project grant on September 18, 2025 for taxiway B paving (final phase, completion September 2029); a $10.17 million project grant on September 7, 2023 for taxiway lighting reconstruction and 9,000-foot taxiway rehabilitation (70.38% of total project cost, performance through September 2027); and a $736,010 project grant on July 25, 2024 for taxiway design phase. Additional FAA infrastructure work includes a $751,052.63 grant awarded May 29, 2026 for acquisition of a Class 5 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting vehicle (completion May 2030) and a $1 million small-community air service development grant from the Department of Transportation Secretary's office on September 13, 2022 for a minimum revenue guarantee and marketing program supporting seasonal low-fare service through January 2028.

Beyond aviation, the county serves as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs administered by Colorado state agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services channels 27 awards to the county primarily through the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing for county administration of healthcare programs, with recurring monthly sub-awards dating to 2023. The county also receives sub-grants from the Colorado Department of Human Services for public assistance program administration and from the Colorado Department of Transportation for trail development (Eagle Valley Eco Trails project, April 2026). Early Head Start (CFDA 93.600) represents an active grant from the Office of Head Start spanning January 2025 through December 2029. The county received a Department of Energy cooperative agreement on October 1, 2024 for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program (EECBG, CFDA 81.041) under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions (performance through September 2027). Forest Service cooperative agreements fund wildfire mitigation coordination: the Eagle County Wildfire Collaborative received a March 2, 2023 award from the U.S. Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) for a shared collaborative coordinator position serving the Eagle County and Roaring Fork Valley wildfire collaboratives (completion March 2028); a related Forest, Rangeland, and Watershed Restoration Partnership cooperative agreement from the same region (June 30, 2022 with June 2027 completion) supports noxious weed and invasive plant control on public and private lands within Eagle County watersheds and on White River National Forest.

The county's sub-award activity includes small-business lending facilitation through the Northwest Loan Fund (six counties served including Eagle, Garfield, Grand, Jackson, Moffat, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Routt, and Summit) and community health implementation sub-awards with Illuminate Colorado Inc. for the Community Level Innovations for Improving Health Outcomes Initiative and Family Connects program (January and September 2025 awards). Emergency Management sub-awards span Federal Emergency Management Agency grants for hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness coordination (2021–2024). The combined potential value of the 88 prime awards is approximately $155,000; the 81 sub-awards carry obligation history of $195.5 million, reflecting state pass-through funding. Activity has grown from nine awards in 2022 to a peak of 27 awards in 2024, with 21 awards in 2025; three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling moderate recompete risk in airport infrastructure and state-administered healthcare sub-grants. The county holds two GSA Multiple Award Schedule positions (BOAs GS08B14068 with 19 task orders and GS08B14155 with one task order, combined $67,000 potential value), though these represent minimal federal procurement exposure relative to the dominant grant-recipient footprint.
