County Of Fallon

County Of Fallon, a Montana county government entity headquartered in Baker, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient focused on airport infrastructure and public health emergency response. The county has no federal contracting footprint and does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles; all federal activity is grant-based, split between prime grant recipients (59% of recent awards, 20 total) and sub-recipients on health and public safety grants (41%, 14 total). The county operates within the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program and related federal grant streams rather than the federal procurement market.

County Of Fallon's prime grant activity centers on the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration's Northwest Mountain Region, which accounts for 18 of 26 grants cited in recent awards (74% of the portfolio by count). Recent prime work includes three Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116 and 20.106) project grants totaling approximately $661,807 awarded between August 2025 and August 2026 to rehabilitate and resurface airport infrastructure at Baker Municipal Airport — runway 13/31 lighting rehabilitation ($256,031.58 awarded August 26, 2026, through August 25, 2030), pavement maintenance and preservation ($246,133.68 awarded September 11, 2025, through September 10, 2029, and $159,642.11 awarded August 29, 2025, through August 28, 2029). A fuel farm construction grant ($246,133.68 awarded June 25, 2024, completed June 2023) provided the final reimbursement for a single-pump fuel facility. The county also received American Rescue Plan Act pandemic relief funding ($246,133.68 granted November 18, 2021, through November 17, 2025) for airport operations, personnel, and sanitation during COVID-19 response.

As a sub-recipient, County Of Fallon receives annual operating grants from the State of Montana Department of Health and Human Services (marked "PHSI," July 2022 and July 2023) and the Montana Board of Crime Control (a data project, January 2024), alongside recurring rural operating grants (SFY2024, SFY2025, SFY2026, and SFY2027 tranches awarded annually between January and July). The county has served eight distinct federal agencies over its grant history, but concentration is sharply tilted toward FAA airport infrastructure work. Award volume has been modest and uneven — between one and four awards per year over the past five years — with only one award facing completion within the next twenty-four months and combined dollars obligated across the entire portfolio at $12.1 million, reflecting the county's role as a small municipal grant recipient rather than a federal contracting vendor or significant federal grant operator.
