County Of Pershing

County of Pershing, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Lovelock, Nevada, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering airport infrastructure, economic relief, and social services support across multiple federal agencies. The county acts as both a direct recipient of federal grants (55% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient channeling federal funds through state intermediaries (45% of awards), with no federal contracting prime or subcontracting role in the source data.

The county's primary federal footprint centers on airport infrastructure and operations. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Western Pacific Region has awarded the county nine grants totaling support for taxiway construction, airport master planning, and pandemic-era economic relief at Lovelock Airport. A representative award is the $315,789 formula grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) issued August 3, 2026, to update the airport master plan with sustainable development narrative through August 2030. The county also received two project grants in August 2024 to construct a new 2,950-foot taxiway — one under the standard Airport Improvement Program and a second under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — both running through August 2028. An earlier December 2021 project grant provided pandemic economic relief funds under the American Rescue Plan Act to cover airport operations, personnel, cleaning, and debt service through December 2025.

Customer concentration is high and skewed to transportation and food assistance. The top five agencies account for 86% of recent awards, led by the FAA Western Pacific Region (9 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (6 awards), and the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (5 awards). The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance rounds out the active set with one award. As a sub-recipient, the county receives Women, Infants and Children program staffing and support funding through the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (seven sub-awards from January 2024 through December 2025), occupant protection and highway safety support through the Nevada Department of Public Safety (five sub-awards between October 2022 and October 2023), and IT modernization funding for multi-factor authentication implementation and library RFID circulation infrastructure upgrades through unspecified state grantees.

Activity shows modest volatility — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, eight in 2024, two in 2025, and one award (the airport master plan grant) issued in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all twenty-nine awards total $5.9 million, with only two awards facing completion in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
