County Of Minnehaha

County Of Minnehaha is a local government entity based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, operating as the parent entity and primary administrative body for Minnehaha County. The county is registered as a U.S. government entity with the federal government and has maintained active registration in SAM.gov since June 2008. Through its federal contracting and grant awards, County Of Minnehaha provides critical services and infrastructure that support federal law enforcement operations and community development initiatives across the county.

County Of Minnehaha has established a consistent federal contracting relationship with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), serving as a prime contractor for firearms range services. Since 2022, the county has received five consecutive annual purchase orders from the DEA, each valued at $1,000, for the provision of firearms ranges to support the agency's operational needs. The contract awards span from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026, with specific descriptions including maintenance fees for the Ellis Firearms Range facility, firearms range operations for the DEA's Sioux Falls Regional Office, and range fees for firearms qualifications. These firm fixed-price purchase orders enable DEA agents and officers stationed in the Sioux Falls region to maintain proficiency in firearms handling and accuracy through regular training and qualification activities. No set-aside designations were applied to any of these contract awards, and no subcontractors were identified in the award documentation.

County Of Minnehaha has been a significant recipient of federal grant sub-awards flowing through state and local prime grantees, demonstrating extensive engagement with multiple federal grant programs supporting public safety, education, and social services.

Additional sub-awards from the State of South Dakota and the South Dakota Department of Education have supported school lunch programs (National School Lunch Program Block Grants) and law enforcement equipment procurement. The county has also received specialized grant funding through the Attorney General's Office of South Dakota for a new Deputy State's Attorney position dedicated to improving prosecution outcomes in intimate partner violent crime cases, and allocations from the South Dakota Department of Public Safety for debris removal and combating domestic violence initiatives. Sub-awards related to substance abuse and mental health services have been provided through the Social Services South Dakota Department, and body camera equipment funding was allocated through the City of Sioux Falls in 2021. This diverse portfolio of federal grant sub-awards reflects County Of Minnehaha's role as a key implementation partner for state and federal initiatives spanning public safety, victim services, education, and community resilience.
