County Of Johnson

Johnson County Sheriff Department (operating as a division of County of Johnson, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa) provides law enforcement services and security operations to federal facilities as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across five distinct federal customer agencies.

The Sheriff Department's federal work centers on recurring annual law enforcement contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The top two customer agencies account for all of the department's contract award value: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Rock Island (11 awards, $462 thousand combined potential value) and the Army Corps of Engineers (9 awards, $356 thousand combined potential value) together represent the full scope of the department's $819 thousand combined potential value across all federal sources. The department has held a long-standing partnership with the Army Corps to provide seasonal law enforcement support and security services at Coralville Lake near Iowa City since at least 2019. Recent purchase orders include $59,976 for law enforcement services through October 31, 2026 (awarded May 1, 2026), $57,254 for services through October 31, 2025 (awarded April 28, 2025), $50,907 for fiscal year 2024 services (awarded May 1, 2024), and $49,564 for fiscal year 2023 services (awarded March 16, 2023). All Army Corps contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders with ultimate completion dates of October 31 each fiscal year.

Beyond Army Corps work, the Sheriff Department has received four awards from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance and three from the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, alongside two Community Oriented Policing Program grants. The department also serves as a sub-recipient on federal traffic safety grants flowing from the Iowa Department of Public Safety under Section 402 State and Community Highway Safety grants. Award activity has been sparse and declining — one award in 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award ($60 thousand) facing completion inside the next twenty-four months. Across recent years, the Sheriff Department's federal footprint sits at 26 prime awards (90% of total) and 3 sub awards (10%), grounded primarily in police protection services (NAICS 561612, 16 awards) and physical security and badging support (PSC code, 10 awards).
