Lincoln County Georgia Board Of Commissioners

Lincoln County Georgia Board Of Commissioners, a U.S. county government entity headquartered in Lincolnton, Georgia, operates federal correctional confinement services and facilities support as a prime service provider (79% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on emergency management and transportation grants awarded by the state of Georgia. The entity holds no federal contract vehicles and receives no set-aside designations, competing in full-and-open procurements within its core mission of jail and detention services at the county level.

Lincoln County's federal footprint centers on Army detention contracts. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region accounts for 8 awards ($361 thousand combined potential value) — the largest concentration by both count and dollars — primarily for confinement services at Fort Gordon, Georgia. Two recent purchase orders anchor this relationship: a $99,645 purchase order awarded June 5, 2026, for military offender confinement services at Fort Gordon with ultimate completion June 4, 2028, and a $124,752 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded June 27, 2022, for LCSO confinement services with one base and two option years running through December 31, 2025. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Gordon places five awards ($112 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Savannah places six awards ($65 thousand combined potential value). Beyond Army, the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters and the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Community Facilities each hold four awards.

Activity has remained flat at two to three awards per year over the past five years, with one award ($100 thousand combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Lincoln County's award portfolio shows $538 thousand in combined potential value against $7.8 million in combined dollars obligated — an unusual ratio indicating that awarded ceiling values substantially understate invoiced federal expenditures. The top NAICS category is Correctional Institutions (13 awards), reflecting the vendor's primary operational mission. On the grant side, Lincoln County acts as sub-recipient under the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (four awards for debris removal, emergency measures, road damages, and generator projects between April 2025 and July 2026) and receives sub-awards from the Georgia Department of Education (ESSER III-ARP grant) and the Technical College System of Georgia (workforce development). As a prime grant recipient, Lincoln County received a July 2023 Rural Business Cooperative Services Rural Business Development Grant and a June 2022 USDA Community Facilities grant.
