Monroe County

Monroe County, New York, is a U.S. local government entity based in Rochester, New York, that serves as a county government providing essential public services and infrastructure to its residents. The county is registered in SAM.gov as a government entity eligible to receive federal contract and grant awards, with its primary registration maintained since October 2004. Monroe County functions as both a prime recipient and administrator of federal awards, serving as a parent entity that coordinates federal funding across multiple county departments and subsidiaries to support public health, criminal justice, housing, transportation, and social services initiatives.

Monroe County has demonstrated limited direct federal contract activity, with documented prime contract awards primarily focused on providing specialized reporting and operational services. Specifically, Monroe Community Hospital Inc., a county hospital subsidiary, received two delivery order contracts from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for community nursing home services and express reporting activities at the VA Finger Lakes Health Care System. The first delivery order, awarded October 1, 2021, valued at $203,909.21, covered fiscal year 2022 quarters one and two expenditure reporting for the period October 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022. The second delivery order, awarded June 1, 2022, valued at $116,834.90, covered fiscal year 2022 quarters three and four for the period April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. These delivery orders appear to be part of a larger five-year, $1,974,316.60 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract also awarded to Monroe Community Hospital Inc. on June 1, 2022, extending through May 31, 2027. Both contracts utilized fixed-price arrangements with no set-aside designations and involved performance in Rochester, New York.

Monroe County has been highly active in federal grant programs, serving as a prime grantee across multiple funding agencies and program areas. The county has received substantial formula grant awards from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for affordable housing and homeless services, including HOME Investment Partnerships Program grants totaling multiple awards from fiscal years 2023 through 2025, Emergency Solutions Grants addressing homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing for periods spanning 2023 through 2027, and Community Development Block Grants for entitlement communities supporting viable urban development through fiscal year 2033. The county has also received significant project grants from the Department of Justice, including two awards under the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program totaling $1.3 million to enhance criminal justice responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking through partnerships with the Monroe County District Attorney's Office, Willow Domestic Violence Center, Rochester Police Department, Legal Aid Society of Rochester, and Planned Parenthood. Additional DOJ project grants include a $1,599,991 Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Other Substance Use Program grant to establish an Overdose Fatality Review Board with embedded research team, a $591,603 Comprehensive Forensic DNA Analysis Grant Program award to the Monroe County Crime Laboratory for DNA case backlog reduction, and support from the Community Oriented Policing Services program for technology and equipment. The county has also received federal transportation infrastructure funding, including a $2,195,014.44 project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration for airport improvements at Rochester International Airport involving replacement of passenger boarding bridges. Additionally, the county administers numerous federal sub-grants passed through from New York State agencies including the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Child Care and Development Services, and Supplemental Nutrition programs; the Office of Children and Family Services; the Department of Health for WIC programs; the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for emergency management and homeland security initiatives; the Division of Criminal Justice Services for forensic laboratory support; the New York State Office of Victim Services; and the Department of Motor Vehicles for traffic safety and DUI prevention programs.

Monroe County does not appear to hold any active federal contract IDVs or awarded contract vehicles in the provided award history. The entity's federal contracting activity has been limited to specific delivery order arrangements through established VA contracts managed by Monroe Community Hospital Inc. as a subsidiary. Rather than operating under broader institutional contracting vehicles, Monroe County's contracting approach appears to focus on direct award of task-specific delivery orders for defined services. The absence of documented IDV holdings indicates that Monroe County primarily functions as a grant recipient entity rather than as a federal contractor holding indefinite delivery contract instruments, with its federal contract engagement structured through subsidiary hospital operations providing healthcare-related services to federal health programs rather than through traditional GSA or agency-specific contract vehicles.
