County Of Oneida

County Of Oneida, a New York local government entity based in Utica, provides federal agencies with confinement services for military personnel and airport infrastructure improvements as a prime contractor on Army and FAA grant and contract vehicles. The county operates primarily as a grant recipient (29% prime awards, 71% sub-awards) and competes without set-aside designations through full and open competition.

The county's prime federal work splits between two distinct capability domains. On the contract side, County Of Oneida holds two single-award BPAs with the U.S. Department of the Army's Installation Management Command Northeast Region for pre-trial and post-trial inmate housing at its Utica correctional facility. The original $450,000 BPA (effective January 2023 through January 2028) established a framework for recurring $150,000 annual task orders; the county has received calls under this vehicle in April 2023, April 2024, April 2025, and April 2026. A successor BPA awarded May 1, 2025 carries a $289,050 ceiling through November 2027. Both BPAs serve Army installations within a 150-mile radius of Fort Drum, New York, and require the county's facility to meet specified accreditation standards for military confinement operations.

On the grant side, County Of Oneida is a major recipient of Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grants (CFDA 20.106) funding airfield infrastructure modernization at Rome-area airports. Recent FAA project grants total $9.3 million across nine awards: $891,051 (June 2026) for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting equipment and vehicle replacement; $1,598,940 (September 2025) for taxiway reconfiguration and safety mitigation; $214,500 (August 2025) for wildlife perimeter fencing reconstruction; $129,100 (July 2025) for terminal apron design; $991,841 (July 2025) for control tower rehabilitation including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, security, and fire protection systems; $1,298,878 (July 2025) for control tower communication and recording equipment rehabilitation; $610,912 (July 2025) for wind cone installation, airport beacon reconstruction, and precision approach path indicator system reconstruction; $922,302 (September 2024) for obstruction removal; and $3,330,214 (September 2024) for taxiway reconstruction and lighting. The county also received a $227,000 Airport Infrastructure Grant (CFDA 20.117) in April 2026 for apron pavement Phase 1 design, and a $129,100 project grant under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in July 2025 for terminal apron pavement rehabilitation design. A single project grant of $1,024,940 (not separately itemized in detail) addresses EV charging station installation through the Federal Highway Administration (awarded August 2024, completion December 2026). The county received a $922,302 Veterans Health Administration suicide prevention grant (CFDA program code 38 CFR Part 78) in fiscal year 2024; the county closed out Year Three funding and returned $152,238 to Treasury.

Subgrant activity dominates the county's recent awards volume. County Of Oneida functions as a sub-recipient under New York State prime grantees, particularly the New York State Office of Temporary & Disability Assistance (which administers Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, TANF; Child Care and Development Fund, CCDF; and related programs) and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. These sub-awards, each typically carrying modest values and awarded monthly or quarterly throughout 2024–2026, address child welfare, family assistance, and child care services within the county. The county also receives sub-awards from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, Health Research Inc., and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, covering community engagement programs, public health infrastructure, emergency management, and utility infrastructure repair.

Potential value concentration sits with NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center ($10.4 million across 7 awards) and the Army Northeast Region ($2.2 million across 13 awards), together accounting for roughly 70% of combined potential value. However, award-count concentration presents a different picture: the Administration for Children and Families accounts for 213 awards (45% of the 468 total), reflecting the high volume of small monthly or quarterly sub-awards. The county's recent activity has grown significantly — from 12 awards in 2022 to 136 in 2024 — though 2025 and 2026 show more moderate volumes (120 and 47 awards respectively). Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $150,000, representing modest recompete exposure.
