County Of Hopkins

County Of Hopkins (operating as Hopkins County Sheriff Department), a U.S. local government entity based in Sulphur Springs, Texas, receives federal grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient, with all recent activity routed through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The vendor holds no federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space, where it acts as the ultimate recipient of emergency management and disaster relief funding.

Hopkins County's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within FEMA. The entity has received seventeen awards across all federal sources, accounting for $4.8 million in combined obligation dollars. All awards flow from a single customer agency — the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards — representing 100% of the award count. The vendor acts as a prime grant recipient on one active award and as a sub-recipient on sixteen awards flowing through the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

The prime grant work centers on staffing and emergency response. Hopkins County received a $211,911 three-year project grant under the SAFER program (CFDA 97.083) on March 19, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 18, 2029. The award supports firefighter hiring, deployment, and volunteer recruitment and retention initiatives for Hopkins County's fire department and emergency response operations in the Sulphur Springs area.

The sub-recipient work spans disaster recovery and emergency infrastructure. Hopkins County has received seven sub-awards from the Texas Division of Emergency Management dated between April 2024 and April 2025, covering debris removal (including Category A debris costs), administrative costs, community safe room construction, and precinct road infrastructure repairs. These awards reflect post-disaster relief operations and resilience investments flowing from FEMA to the state, then to the county.

Activity is sporadic. The source data show eight awards in 2019, a one-award gap in 2021, then four awards in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026. The recent rebound in 2024–2026 reflects ongoing disaster recovery work channeled through the state. As a U.S. government entity, Hopkins County does not compete on federal contracts or hold seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs; it qualifies for and receives direct grant funding from FEMA and state pass-through awards for emergency management and disaster response.
