County Of Grand

County Of Grand, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Moab, Utah, operates as a prime recipient in federal grant programs and as a prime contractor delivering law enforcement, noxious weed control, radio dispatch, and airport infrastructure services to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and the Federal Aviation Administration. The entity does not compete under SBA set-asides; all procurements are full-and-open. County Of Grand includes the Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah as a named subsidiary.

The county's federal footprint spans 179 awards across sixteen customer agencies, with 99% as prime awards. The Bureau of Land Management Utah Region dominates by both count and dollar value, accounting for 20 awards with $1.5 million combined potential value, anchored by a $610,156.70 firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded April 30, 2026, for law enforcement services (NAICS 561612, Security Guards and Patrol Services) running through April 30, 2031, structured as a base year plus four optional years. Representative BLM work also includes a $78,558.65 purchase order for noxious weed control on BLM-administered lands (ultimate completion June 30, 2027) and a $15,000 purchase order for radio dispatch services supporting federal operations in Moab (ultimate completion September 6, 2028). The Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region is the second-largest customer by count (21 awards), funding airport infrastructure development at Moab Airport, though the FAA's potential-value ranking trails BLM when measured in dollars.

The county's federal grant portfolio emphasizes airport improvement and modernization under the FAA Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). Recent major grants include a $9,552,631.58 Project Grant (awarded September 18, 2025, ultimate completion September 17, 2029) for reconstruction and expansion of airport aprons and a $2,621,877.97 Project Grant (awarded June 9, 2025, ultimate completion June 8, 2029) for construction of three taxilanes. Additional FAA airport-infrastructure grants funded taxiway construction ($2,270,018.76 Formula Grant awarded August 13, 2024), master plan updates ($319,347.37 Formula Grant awarded August 15, 2022), and aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment acquisition ($1,368,421.05 Project Grant awarded April 14, 2026). The county also serves as prime recipient on grants from the National Resources Conservation Service for emergency flood response and bank stabilization (Cooperative Agreement awarded February 13, 2025), the U.S. Geological Survey for national groundwater monitoring network data expansion (Cooperative Agreements and project grants awarded through July 2024), and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration for emergency responder training on pipeline incidents (Project Grant awarded January 1, 2025).

The county places significant contract volume through General Services Administration Basic Ordering Agreements for building lease and rental services: 50 task orders under BOA GS08B14110 ($691 thousand combined potential value) and 37 task orders under BOA GS08B13788 ($12 thousand combined potential value). Top NAICS coding reflects this real-estate focus — 89 awards under Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses) — alongside 8 awards for landscaping services and 6 for soil preparation and cultivation. Activity has declined in recent years, from six awards in 2022 to one in 2024, with three awards (combined potential value $79 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated ($72.7 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($2.6 million), indicating heavy obligation of prior-year grant awards for ongoing construction and infrastructure projects.
