County Of Jasper

County Of Jasper, doing business as County Commission, is a U.S. county government entity headquartered in Carthage, Missouri, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient (26% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient flowing through Missouri state agencies (74% of awards). The county operates as a local government with no federal prime contracting footprint; all federal activity is grant-based.

The county's prime grant portfolio centers on justice and substance use disorder treatment programs. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded $399,884 under the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.490) in September 2026 to expand substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services within the existing Jasper County Co-Occurring Disorders Court. The five-year project runs through September 2031 and will serve 50 unduplicated participants annually across 250 annual service slots, delivering screening, assessment, clinical treatment access, coordinated case management, peer recovery support, recovery housing linkages, family engagement, overdose prevention education, and medications for opioid use disorder. The Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded a $968,183 Project Grant under the Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585) in October 2024 to support the 29th Judicial Circuit Driving While Intoxicated Court Enhancement Initiative, a four-year program ending September 2028 that aims to expand enrollment by 40%, add missing treatment court components, and conduct program evaluation. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 awarded a cooperative agreement on February 6, 2023 (running through February 5, 2029) funding implementation of institutional controls at the Oronogo Duenweg Superfund Site, with deliverables including updated ordinances and enhanced GIS capabilities to track lead remediation for Jasper County residents near the National Priorities List site.

Customer concentration is split between state pass-through funding and direct federal awards. The top five funding sources by award count account for 75% of recent awards: the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (14 awards), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (13 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (7 awards), the Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 (5 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (4 awards). The sub-recipient activity reflects Missouri state agency administration of federal programs: the Missouri Department of Transportation channels federal highway and bridge funding (multiple sub-awards for bridge replacements and pavement improvements across Jasper County), the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services manages public health workforce development and disease preparedness grants, the Department of Public Safety Missouri administers justice assistance and substance abuse treatment grants, and the Missouri Department of Social Services passes through child support enforcement (IV-D) reimbursements.

Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to a recent peak of twelve in 2023, with declining annual volume in 2024–2026 (10, 9, and 8 awards respectively). The county holds $14.2 million in total combined dollars obligated across all 57 awards spanning twenty years of federal funding. The prime grant work—SAMHSA substance use disorder treatment, DOJ treatment court enhancement, and EPA Superfund site remediation—positions Jasper County as an implementer of federal public health and criminal justice policy at the local level, with performance concentrated in Jasper County, Missouri.
