Montmorency County Sheriff Department

Montmorency County Sheriff's Department, a county law-enforcement agency operating as a child entity of the County of Montmorency, acts as a sub-recipient of federal grant funding focused on child-support enforcement and rural community development. The department is a U.S. local government entity with no prime contract or grant awards; its federal activity consists entirely of sub-awards routed through Michigan state intermediaries and federal agencies.

The department's federal footprint is narrow and grant-focused. Six of eight awards in the source data (75% of the portfolio) are sub-awards under the Title IV-D Cooperative Reimbursement Program administered by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. These awards, clustered on October 1, 2023 and October 1, 2024, support child-support enforcement and cooperative reimbursement activities. Two additional awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service and its Community Facilities division, signaling secondary involvement in rural development or infrastructure work. The combined dollars obligated across all eight awards total $386 thousand, concentrated in the Title IV-D grants.

Activity exhibits episodic concentration rather than sustained volume. A single award appeared in 2015, followed by a gap until 2020, then a cluster of five awards in 2023 and one in 2024. The most recent award dated October 1, 2024, suggesting annual or biennial renewal cycles tied to Title IV-D program structure rather than competitive procurement processes. Customer concentration is absolute — the Administration for Children and Families accounts for 100% of the reported award count through the Title IV-D sub-awards, with the Rural Housing Service line items representing marginal exposure.

Montmorency County Sheriff's Department operates as a sub-recipient under its parent entity, the County of Montmorency (also U.S. local government), which holds the prime grant relationships. The sheriff's department does not appear in the source as a contracting entity, an IDIQ holder, or a BPA participant. This profile is typical of county law-enforcement agencies receiving federal pass-through funding for child-support enforcement under Title IV-D, where the state department of health and human services intermediates federal dollars and administrative oversight. The department's federal engagement is passive — grant sub-recipient status without prime contracting capability or vehicle access — and carries minimal relevance for federal contractors pursuing prime awards or seeking teaming partners in contract vehicles.
