County Of Patrick

County of Patrick, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Stuart, Virginia, holds small prime federal contract awards for law enforcement and security services at Army Corps of Engineers water-resource facilities (16% of recent awards) while receiving the majority of its federal funding through grant sub-awards from state pass-through grantees in education, social services, and victim support programs (84% of recent awards).

County of Patrick's federal contract prime work centers on law enforcement and security services at Philpott Lake and Philpott Dam in Patrick County, Virginia. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Wilmington has placed multiple purchase orders with the county: a $21,365 firm fixed-price contract awarded February 24, 2022, for patrolling, security, and emergency response operations through October 31, 2023, with an option to extend one year; an $18,048 purchase order awarded April 1, 2024, for law enforcement services at Philpott Lake through October 31, 2025; and a $25,260 purchase order awarded April 1, 2026, for law enforcement and security services at Bassett, Virginia, through October 31, 2027. These awards carry no set-aside designation and reflect the county's status as a local government contractor. County of Patrick also holds a single-award grant as prime recipient: an Appalachian Regional Commission project grant for a business incubator, awarded October 1, 2022, with ultimate completion September 30, 2025.

The vast majority of County of Patrick's federal award activity flows through grant sub-awards. The Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Education is the dominant pass-through grantor, with 32 sub-awards supporting Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Title I Part A basic programs, Title II Part A teacher-quality improvement, Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grants, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B Special Education, and Vocational Education Basic Grants. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service channels 43 awards through the State Board of Education. County of Patrick also receives grant sub-awards from the Virginia Department of Social Services (13 awards for local budget allocations) and the Department of Criminal Justice Services Virginia (6 awards supporting victim/witness advocacy and the Virginia Sexual Assault Training and Overcoming Prejudice (VSTOP) investigator program, which provides trauma-informed services to approximately 20 sexual-assault victims, 65 to 75 domestic-violence victims, and 5 to 7 stalking victims annually). These grant sub-awards support county school systems, law enforcement victim services, and social-services delivery; they are routed through state agencies rather than issued directly by federal grantor agencies.

County of Patrick's customer concentration is divided by funding source. By award count, the top five agencies account for 74% of the 136 total awards: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (43 awards), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (32 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (13 awards), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Wilmington (7 awards, $111 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (6 awards). By combined potential value, the landscape is inverted: law-enforcement contract awards to the Army Corps of Engineers account for $262 thousand of the county's $262 thousand combined potential value across all 136 awards. The county's federal award footprint has grown sharply in recent years — nine awards in 2022, five in 2023, forty-eight in 2024, thirty-five in 2025, and eight in 2026 — though the dollar magnitude remains modest due to the small size of individual grant sub-awards. One law-enforcement contract carrying $25 thousand in potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
