County Of Montgomery

County Of Montgomery — doing business as Montgomery County Recorder Of Deeds — is a local government entity and child division of the parent County of Montgomery (Mississippi) that acts as a federal grant recipient for disaster recovery, community infrastructure, and public safety programs, with no federal contracting footprint. The organization operates as a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Winona, Mississippi, and competes in full-and-open federal grant programs rather than set-aside categories.

The Recorder of Deeds' federal work centers on disaster assistance and rural development grants. As a prime grant recipient, the organization has received $3.2 million in combined obligated dollars across nine awards over the past thirteen years, with recent capability work including a $1.4 million Persistent Poverty Community Facilities grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (awarded September 2025, completion September 2027), a Community Oriented Policing Program hiring grant from the Department of Justice (awarded October 2024, completion September 2029), a tornado debris-removal cooperative agreement from the USDA National Resources Conservation Service (awarded February 2024, completed October 2024), and a community infrastructure project grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (awarded April 2022, completed October 2023). In its sub-recipient capacity, the organization has received seven disaster-assistance sub-grants flowing from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, totaling approximately $35.5 thousand across public assistance and equipment awards dated 2022 through 2025.

Customer concentration reflects the organization's rural Mississippi geography and disaster-exposure profile. Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for six awards (primarily disaster sub-grants through state pass-through); the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service holds four awards; and the USDA Rural Utilities Service, USDA National Resources Conservation Service, and Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program each hold one or two awards, collectively covering 88% of recent award activity. Activity has remained modest and flat — one to three awards annually over the past five years — with only one award (combined potential value not specified in source) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing renewal in that window. The organization does not hold seats on government-wide contract vehicles and generates no federal contracting revenue; all federal activity flows through grant and sub-grant mechanisms administered by rural development and emergency management programs.
