County Of Gallatin

County Of Gallatin Finance Division, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, acts as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient, delivering public health, behavioral health, emergency management, transportation infrastructure, and law enforcement services to its service area (Gallatin County, Montana, approximately 127,000 residents). The organization operates as a pass-through for federal funding flowing to county departments and partner agencies, with 47 percent of its 148 recent federal awards held as prime recipient and 53 percent as sub-recipient under state-level grantees, primarily the State of Montana Department of Health and Human Services and the Montana Board of Crime Control.

County Of Gallatin's award footprint reflects its operational scope as a rural county government. The top five customer agencies by award count — the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (18 awards), the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region (11 awards), the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance (10 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (8 awards), and the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (8 awards) — account for 37 percent of awards. The organization receives recurring sub-awards from the State of Montana for public health programs including Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition services, epidemiology initiatives, and crisis response programs, as well as from the Montana Board of Crime Control for drug task force operations and victim services. Prime federal awards include a $400,000 recipient grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (CFDA 93.532) for the Gallatin Adult Suicide Prevention Program (performance through September 2030), infrastructure improvement grants from the Federal Aviation Administration totaling $1.08 million for Three Forks Airport taxiway and runway rehabilitation, a $252,771 Federal Highway Administration Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) planning grant for transportation safety analysis (completion April 2027), a $153,339 Reconnecting Communities Pilot (CFDA 20.940) feasibility study for the Manhattan Trail System (completion January 2026), and federal justice assistance block grants for law enforcement equipment and personnel.

Combined potential value across all 148 awards stands at $5.1 million, though obligated dollars total $52.6 million, indicating significant prior-year execution across multi-year awards. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (14 awards in 2022, 21 in 2024, 4 year-to-date in 2026), with only two awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore minimal recompete cliff exposure. The organization's grant portfolio reflects its administrative role as fiscal agent for county departments and community partners; named subsidiaries include the Gallatin County Detention Center. County Of Gallatin does not operate federal contract vehicles or hold prime contracts; it functions exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem as a recipient and fiscal manager of federal assistance for health, safety, infrastructure, and social services.
