County Of Gage

County Of Gage, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Beatrice, Nebraska, receives federal grant funding as a sub-recipient under state and federal agency prime grantees, with minimal prime grant activity and no federal contracts. The entity operates almost entirely in a sub-recipient role (79% of recent awards), receiving pass-through funding from state departments and federal agencies to support local economic development, child support enforcement, emergency management, and cybersecurity initiatives.

The award footprint is dominated by sub-awards routed through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families, which accounts for fourteen awards spanning child support enforcement collaboration with courts and law enforcement under the IV-D program — funding cooperative arrangements to locate absent parents, establish paternity, and secure support for children receiving TANF and IV-E Foster Care services. Multiple sub-awards dating from 2022 through 2025 carry identical or near-identical scope descriptions tied to 45 CFR 302.34 and 235.70 compliance. County Of Gage also holds sub-awards for emergency management administration, training, exercises, and planning from Federal Emergency Management Agency and National Park Service funding, a cybersecurity capability enhancement sub-award dated December 15, 2023, and a management and reduction of systemic cyber risk sub-award from February 2, 2026. A single prime grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, dated August 13, 2024, carries an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2032, and funds an economic development initiative project under Congressional Directed Spending authority per the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022; the full scope is unknown at award issuance pending submission of the project narrative.

Activity shows modest volume with three to five awards per year from 2022 through 2025, one award in 2026 year-to-date, and a combined potential value across all awards of $62 thousand against obligated dollars of $6.7 million, indicating that obligated amounts substantially exceed potential-value estimates in the source data. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families dominates the award count, accounting for 79% of recent awards and representing the primary federal customer for ongoing local child support administration and enforcement work.
