County Of Hempstead

County Of Hempstead, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Hope, Arkansas, provides law enforcement and public safety services to the federal government as a prime contractor on a small number of direct awards and as a sub-recipient on federal grants administered through state agencies. The county operates under two primary capability areas — police protection and security services — with recent work concentrated in law enforcement staffing at federally managed facilities and emergency management support.

County Of Hempstead's federal footprint is modest and concentrated. Four distinct customer agencies account for all seven recorded awards spanning 2017 to 2026. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers dominates the prime contract work with two awards totaling $191 thousand in combined potential value: a $101.76 thousand purchase order for law enforcement services at the Millwood Lake Project Office (awarded April 2023, completing February 2026) and a $46.8 thousand purchase order for law enforcement services at Millwood in Hope, Arkansas (awarded March 2026, completing February 2027). The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance round out the federal agency set. As a sub-recipient, the county receives federal grant awards through the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management (two sub-awards in May 2026 and January 2023, including Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding and unspecified project work labeled "PW 278") and through the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (a December 2021 sub-award for jail-based RSAT programming and services funded under COSSAP). The combined potential value across all seven awards stands at $328 thousand, though obligated dollars ($588 thousand) exceed that potential value, indicating full invoicing or option exercise across the award set. One award worth $47 thousand reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The county does not hold seats on government-wide vehicles or IDIQs; all work flows through direct purchase orders and state-administered grant sub-awards.
