County Of Garfield

County Of Garfield, a Utah local government entity, operates as a federal contractor and grant recipient providing law enforcement services, airport infrastructure and maintenance work, watershed management and emergency recovery services, and solid waste collection to federal land-management and transportation agencies. The county competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The county's work portfolio divides between grant funding and contracts. On the grant side, the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region has been the primary customer, awarding fourteen grants totaling over $1.2 million for runway and apron reconstruction, pavement sealing and repair, and lighting system upgrades at Bryce Canyon Airport, with multiple projects extending through 2029. The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service has awarded four cooperative agreements totaling approximately $2.6 million for emergency watershed protection and flood prevention work: a $1.853 million award on December 29, 2025, for design and installation of emergency watershed protection measures in response to the France Fire under CFDA 10.923, and a $760 thousand Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Program cooperative agreement on March 5, 2024, for watershed planning and flood control initiatives in the Sevier River–Upper region (CFDA 10.904).

On the contract side, the Bureau of Land Management Utah Region awarded a $735 thousand definitive contract on May 7, 2025, for law enforcement services on BLM-managed public lands, roads, and trails within Garfield County, with a base year and four option years extending through April 30, 2030 (NAICS 561612). The National Park Service Utah Region issued a $134 thousand purchase order on September 17, 2026, for Sandy Creek low water crossings work in Boulder, Utah, completing September 30, 2027. The Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with a $150 thousand ceiling on June 1, 2024, for construction, improvements, and repairs at Bryce Canyon Airport through May 31, 2029.

Customer concentration reflects the county's geography and service scope. The top five customer agencies account for 89% of recent awards by count, dominated by the Department of Transportation FAA Northwest Mountain Region (14 awards), the National Park Service (12 awards, $470 thousand potential value), the Bureau of Land Management Utah Region (5 awards, $1.5 million potential value), and the National Resources Conservation Service (4 awards). The county's award volume has grown modestly from one award in 2022 to four in 2025 and three in 2026 (through mid-September). Three awards with a combined potential value of $134 thousand reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure. The county's category concentration skews toward solid waste collection services (12 awards under NAICS 5623/PSC J001), with secondary exposure in highway and bridge construction, law enforcement, and forestry support activities. The county holds positions on three National Park Service Blanket Purchase Agreements (INP12PA60002, INP11PA10006, and INP12PA60006) from which it executes task orders.
