County Of Oakland

County Of Oakland, a local government entity headquartered in Pontiac, Michigan, receives federal funding as a grant recipient and prime contractor, operating primarily in federal grant programs (62% of recent awards are sub-recipient grants routed through state intermediaries) alongside minimal prime contracting activity. The county does not compete under set-asides and holds no federal contract vehicles of its own.

County Of Oakland's federal footprint is dominated by pass-through grant work and community development funding. On the prime contracting side, the county has earned three small purchase orders from the U.S. Secret Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for CLEMIS (Courts and Law Enforcement Management Information System) database access supporting federal law enforcement operations in southeast Michigan — a $39,553 award (July 2024 to June 2026, with option), a $113,267.50 award (April 2024, completing March 2029), and a prior $36,918 contract (July 2022 to June 2024). These are straightforward information-access contracts with no set-aside designation.

On the grant side, the county acts as a prime recipient for federal cooperative agreements and formula grants addressing infrastructure, housing, public safety, and environmental projects. Representative direct grants include a $772,500 cooperative agreement from EPA Region 5 (March 2026, CFDA 66.469 — Geographic Programs, Great Lakes Restoration Initiative) to expand the RainSmart Rebates Program for green stormwater infrastructure in the Clinton and Rouge River Watersheds, targeting 1,500 stormwater projects and capturing approximately 2.5 million gallons of stormwater runoff by December 2028; a $1,869,393.85 formula grant from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (September 2024, CFDA 14.239 — Home Investment Partnerships Program) supporting affordable housing activities in Pontiac through 2034; a $320,372 formula grant from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (September 2025, CFDA 14.231 — Emergency Solutions Grant) for homelessness response infrastructure including street outreach, emergency shelter, and rapid re-housing services through September 2027; and a $436,925 formula grant from the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (October 2024, CFDA 16.036 — Comprehensive Forensic DNA Analysis Grant Program) supporting the Oakland County Sheriff's Office forensic laboratory's DNA analysis capacity.

The county's grant activity concentrates with HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (54 awards across prime and sub-recipient roles), the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (41 awards), the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (24 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (43 combined awards split across two sub-program lines). Total awards across all federal sources number 381 since the source data began in 2005, with combined obligated dollars of $356.9 million against a combined potential value of $2.4 million — a ratio reflecting the county's role as a pass-through recipient of formula grants with large realized obligations relative to remaining contract ceilings. Activity peaked in 2023 with 84 awards, declined to 82 in 2024, and has moderated to 51 in 2025 and 10 in 2026 year-to-date.

County Of Oakland's sub-recipient work (62% of the award portfolio) flows through Michigan state agencies — the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes and Energy, and the State Police — for workforce development, public health, environmental infrastructure, and law enforcement programs. The county sits on a single parent vehicle, a GSA Basic Ordering Agreement (GS05B18683) with 8 task orders valued at $1.7 million combined potential value for facilities leasing. Six awards (prime and sub combined) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure at the federal level.
