County Of Leavenworth

County of Leavenworth, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Leavenworth, Kansas, delivers emergency medical services and ambulance support to the federal correctional system as a prime contractor, with 93% of recent awards in the prime category and the remainder as a sub-recipient on public health grants routed through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

The county's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in a single customer and capability. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons United States Penitentiary Leavenworth accounts for 136 awards (82% of all activity) with a combined potential value of $979 thousand across monthly and quarterly firm fixed-price purchase orders for emergency medical services delivered to general inmate populations and U.S. Marshal Service inmates. Representative contracts include a $4,966.55 purchase order for general population EMS services (August 2026), a $7,420.40 order with modification for general population services (May 2026), and a $39,999.43 larger aggregated contract spanning multiple months (October 2023 through March 2026). The county operates these services through two parent blanket purchase agreements — DJBP0408BPA13001 (42 task orders, $43 thousand) and DJBP0408BPA12003 (21 task orders, $19 thousand) — both under Bureau of Prisons contracting vehicles. Beyond the penitentiary, the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 represents the second-largest customer at 5 awards ($424 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Agriculture at 3, 3, and 2 awards respectively.

As a prime grant recipient, the county holds a $550 thousand Project Grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.745 — Criminal and Juvenile Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program) running from October 2024 through September 2027 for the Leavenworth County Justice and Mental Health Collaboration initiative, which includes technology acquisition for interagency data sharing, crisis intervention team training, and embedding behavioral health professionals in community supervision. The county also holds a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant for establishment of a Veteran Treatment Court (awarded February 2023, completion January 2028) and completed a Federal Highway Administration Safe Streets and Roads for All action plan grant (August 2023 through August 2025). In the sub-recipient role, the county receives pass-through allocations from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) administration, public health emergency preparedness, Title X family planning services, and maternal and child health programs. The county also received a Kansas Department of Transportation sub-award for the 235th Street Improvement project (January 2026).

Activity has accelerated in the past three years — two awards in 2021 rising to 22 in 2026 — though the spike reflects the monthly billing cycle of penitentiary EMS contracts rather than portfolio diversification. Only one award (combined potential value not specified) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete risk in the near term. The county's capability portfolio, grounded almost entirely in NAICS 621911 (Ambulance Services) across 102 awards and PSC code for ambulance transportation across 122 awards, is highly specialized and geographically bound to the Leavenworth penitentiary facility. The county maintains a named subsidiary — Leavenworth County Sheriff — also a U.S. local government entity. County of Leavenworth registered in the System for Award Management in October 2005 and competes without set-aside designation across all federal contracts.
