County Of Lycoming

County of Lycoming is a Pennsylvania-based local government entity and county planning commission that has established itself as a specialized service provider to the federal government, particularly the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons. Registered in the System for Award Management since February 2005, the county serves as both a prime contractor and grant recipient, delivering waste management services and supporting community development initiatives across the Appalachian region. The entity operates from its headquarters in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and has developed extensive expertise in providing municipal waste management and infrastructure solutions to federal correctional institutions and regional economic development projects.

County of Lycoming's federal contract portfolio is heavily concentrated in waste disposal and renewable energy services provided to Bureau of Prisons facilities, with all contracts awarded under non-set-aside designations. The county has delivered solid waste disposal services to the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood and the United States Penitentiary Lewisburg, managing institutional waste including general trash, construction debris, wood, and tires through firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders valued between $2,800 and $85,721. Most recently, County of Lycoming received a $36,000 delivery order from the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026) and a $15,000 purchase order from the United States Penitentiary Lewisburg (October 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025) for landfill and waste management services. Additionally, the county provided significant renewable energy services and products to the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood, with major delivery orders valued at $2.4 million (October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2022), $1.22 million (October 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023), and $563,611 (April 1, 2023 – June 30, 2023). The county's contract history demonstrates consistent performance in specialized waste management operations, removing approximately 2,500 tons of institutional waste annually within a 25-mile service radius of federal facilities, with performance spanning from 2021 through the present period.

County of Lycoming has secured substantial federal grant funding through both prime and sub-award mechanisms, focusing on community infrastructure development and emergency disaster recovery. As a prime grantee, the county received a $3,734,791 Project Grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (awarded October 1, 2024, extending through October 1, 2028) supporting workforce training, community infrastructure improvements, business development, and healthcare access initiatives. The county also received a $1,143,966 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (May 6, 2025 – November 16, 2025) for streambank protection and erosion prevention efforts.

As a sub-awardee, the county has received pass-through funding from Pennsylvania state agencies for programs including the Emergency Food Assistance Program (multiple awards from the Department of Agriculture), Hazard Mitigation grants and Disaster Recovery funds (Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency), Community Development Block Grants for infrastructure projects such as water main reconstruction and curb cuts (Department of Community & Economic Development), and Pre-Disaster Mitigation grants (Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities). These grant awards reflect the county's role in addressing regional infrastructure gaps and supporting disaster recovery initiatives across Lycoming County and surrounding Appalachian communities.

County of Lycoming maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood under the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons. The primary and largest IDV, awarded June 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $701,524.84 (extending through May 31, 2029), provides comprehensive solid waste disposal services including removal of approximately 2,500 tons of institutional waste, construction debris, wood, and tires annually. This contract specifies the use of a 35-yard compactor delivered approximately six times weekly, along with two 30-yard open top dumpsters and a 30-yard wood dumpster as needed, with disposal required at a landfill within a 25-mile radius of the facility in compliance with applicable regulations. The county also holds a Trash Disposal Fees IDV awarded October 1, 2025 (through September 30, 2026) with a ceiling value of $18,000, representing a renewal of prior trash disposal fee arrangements. A third IDV for trash disposal fees, awarded November 2, 2023 (with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2024 and ceiling value of $18,000), represents the predecessor contract to the current fiscal year arrangement. All three IDVs were issued without set-aside designations and operate as single-award vehicles, establishing County of Lycoming as the exclusive contractor for these specific waste management services to the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood, with delivery orders issued periodically throughout the contract periods to address operational waste disposal needs.
