Livingston County

Livingston County, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Geneseo, New York, receives federal grant funding primarily as a sub-recipient (74% of recent awards) under state pass-through agencies, and acts as a prime grant recipient for environmental remediation and law enforcement training programs administered by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice. The county operates across 22 distinct federal customer agencies and reports $14.9 million in combined potential value across 370 awards, though obligated dollars ($34.5 million) substantially exceed potential value, reflecting the mature, operational character of the grant portfolio.

Livingston County's federal work centers on three capability areas. Environmental brownfield assessment and cleanup represents the largest prime recipient footprint: a $1.5 million EPA Region 2 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 66.818, awarded October 2024, completion September 2028) funds Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, cleanup planning, and community involvement for brownfield revitalization across the county; and a $1 million EPA Region 2 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 66.818, awarded October 2025, completion September 2030) capitalizes a Revolving Loan Fund to provide low-interest loans and subgrants to eligible entities for brownfield remediation. Law enforcement training equipment comprises a second prime recipient award: a FY24 Byrne Discretionary Community Projects grant (Bureau of Justice Assistance, awarded October 2024, completion December 2025) funds purchase of a scenario-based law enforcement training simulator. A third award, a Rural Utilities Service Distance Learning Grant (awarded August 2023, completion August 2025), is documented in the source with minimal descriptive detail.

Sub-recipient awards dominate the portfolio and flow through New York State pass-through agencies. The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance is the single largest prime grantee routing federal funds to Livingston County, with 59 enumerated sub-awards centered on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs, Supportive Services for Vulnerable Populations (SSVP), and other work-related assistance. The New York State Office of Children and Family Services routes sub-awards to Livingston County for child welfare and family services, with 107 enumerated sub-awards. The New York State Department of Health routes Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program sub-awards. The Department of Labor New York passes through Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult and Dislocated Worker formula funds. The New York State Department of State routes Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding. These sub-awards, dating from late 2024 through May 2026, are concentrated in recurring, operational human-services administration aligned with county social-services functions.

Real property leasing represents a secondary commercial revenue stream distinct from grant work. Livingston County places 84 task orders under GSA Basic Ordering Agreement GS02B23321, generating $12.4 million in combined potential value for lease and rental of office buildings (NAICS 531120, Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings). This vehicle concentration signals the county operates as a landlord for federal space requirements. A second BOA (V528A8P5381) carries two task orders valued at $23 thousand. The top property-leasing customer, GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing, anchors $5.3 million of the $12.4 million BOA portfolio.

Activity has grown sharply: three awards in 2022, 29 in 2023, 108 in 2024, 99 in 2025, and 35 in the first five months of 2026. The sustained high volume of sub-awards from New York State agencies and the mature operational status of human-services grants suggest ongoing annual recompete exposure tied to state fiscal-year cycles and TANF and WIOA allocation processes. Prime grant work in brownfield remediation and law enforcement training faces recompete windows aligned with individual award completion dates (September 2028 for the larger EPA assessment cooperative agreement, September 2030 for the RLF capitalization award).
