County Of Hill

County Of Hill, a local government entity based in Havre, Montana, operates as a federal grant recipient and occasional federal contractor, managing airport infrastructure improvements, law enforcement services, and pass-through grant administration for state agencies as a sub-recipient. The entity holds no SBA certifications and competes in full-and-open procurement; its federal footprint comprises 110 awards (64 prime, 46 sub) with a combined potential value of $1.2 million but $19.2 million in obligated dollars, reflecting a pattern of smaller grants and task orders that accumulate substantial invoiced value over time.

County Of Hill's primary federal revenue stream runs through grant sub-awards from Montana state agencies that serve as federal pass-through grantees. The source lists thirty active sub-awards to state entities including the Montana Department of Military Affairs, Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, and Montana Department of Environmental Quality, spanning public health (WIC, immunizations, epidemiology, and pandemic preparedness programs), emergency management, water infrastructure design, and road and bridge rehabilitation. These sub-awards cluster in public assistance and disaster relief — the American Rescue Plan Act COVID-19 airport relief, Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster assistance, and ongoing state health program administration. On the prime side, County Of Hill holds direct federal grants from the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) for runway, taxiway, and apron pavement rehabilitation and runway lighting installation at Havre-Hill County Airport. Representative prime grants include a $283,451.58 Airport Infrastructure Grants award from the FAA on June 19, 2026, for Phase 2 construction (runway and taxiway resealing, apron pavement rehabilitation, and runway lighting), a $193,096.84 FAA Airport Improvement Program award on September 16, 2025, for design-phase planning of similar pavement and lighting projects, and a $236,211.11 FAA award on August 16, 2023, for design of a 3,000 square-foot snow removal equipment building.

Customer concentration by award count spans 22 federal agencies, but with limited breadth. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing accounts for 14 awards totaling $302 thousand in combined potential value, driven by task orders under Basic Ordering Agreement GS08B14328 (26 task orders, $561 thousand). The Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region and primary FAA office together account for 19 awards; the Federal Emergency Management Agency, 9 awards; and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, 7 awards. By potential value, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation anchors the portfolio at $465 thousand across 5 awards, primarily the May 1, 2022, $138,255.96 law enforcement services purchase order with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2027. Activity has tracked at four to ten awards per year since 2022, with recent trajectory flattening (seven awards in 2025, three in 2026 year-to-date) and one recompete exposure: the Reclamation law enforcement contract reaches ultimate completion in April 2027 with $138 thousand potential value.

County Of Hill's award portfolio is dominated by NAICS 531311 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings except Miniwarehouses) with 27 awards, reflecting its role as holder and lessor of public facilities to federal agencies; this category carries minimal revenue relative to the grant footprint. The entity does not sit on government-wide contracts or multi-agency vehicles beyond the GSA Basic Ordering Agreement. County Of Hill acts exclusively as a prime on federal awards — no federal contract subcontract work — though it serves as sub-recipient on thirty grant pass-throughs from state grantees. As a U.S. local government entity, it faces no recompete pressure in set-aside categories and operates entirely in full-and-open competition, competing on technical merit and established federal-grant relationships in airport infrastructure and public health administration rather than on price or SBA designation.
