County Of Hill

County Of Hill, operating as the Commissioner's Office and headquartered in Havre, Montana, is a U.S. local government entity that receives federal grants and limited contract awards for airport infrastructure improvements, law enforcement services, and public health and emergency management programs. The county holds federal grant prime awards (58% of recent awards) and receives sub-awards from Montana state agencies (42% of recent awards); it does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles or IDIQs and does not compete for set-asides.

The vendor's recent activity centers on Federal Aviation Administration airport infrastructure grants. Since 2025, County Of Hill has been the recipient of $283,451.58 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) awarded August 25, 2026, for Phase 2 construction at Havre-Hill County Airport, including runway and taxiway resealing, apron pavement work, and runway lighting installation through August 2030. The county also received $283,451.58 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) on June 19, 2026, for the same Phase 2 construction scope. A $193,096.84 design-phase grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) was awarded September 16, 2025, extending through September 2029. In 2023, the county received $236,211.11 under the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106) for the design phase of a snow removal equipment building. Beyond aviation, County Of Hill holds a $138,255.96 purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation awarded May 1, 2022, for law enforcement services in Havre, Montana, with ultimate completion in April 2027.

Customer concentration is dispersed across federal and state partners. By award count, the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing accounts for 14 awards valued at $302 thousand; the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region represents 11 awards; FEMA Headquarters accounts for 9 awards; and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service holds 7 awards. By combined potential value, the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation leads with five awards worth $465 thousand, followed by GSA Public Buildings Service at $302 thousand. The top parent vehicle is GSA's Basic Ordering Agreement GS08B14328, under which County Of Hill holds 26 task orders valued at $561 thousand.

Subcontract activity flows through Montana state agencies. County Of Hill receives pass-through federal grant sub-awards from the Montana Department of Military Affairs for roads, bridges, parks, and emergency management; from the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services for WIC, immunization, and epidemiology programs; and from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality for water treatment infrastructure design. Representative recent sub-awards include road and culvert repairs funded through the Department of Military Affairs (multiple awards in 2024–2025), a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system design at the Havre water treatment plant via Montana Department of Environmental Quality (January 2025), and recurring WIC and PHEP (Public Health Emergency Preparedness) allocations from Montana DHHS. One sub-award carries law enforcement cooperation language ("Enhance cooperation and coordination between Local, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies to conduct border centric operations," October 2024), indicating federal pass-through for border-region security operations.

The recompete cliff is minimal: only one award (the Bureau of Reclamation law enforcement purchase order, $138 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Activity has moderated in the past two years—seven awards in 2025 and four in 2026—compared to ten in 2024, suggesting either a slowdown in FAA airport grant cycles or a temporary gap between design and construction phases.
