County Of Polk

County Of Polk, doing business as County Offices Sheriff, is a Nebraska county government entity that operates as a sub-recipient on federal grants, with no prime contracting footprint or federal contract vehicles. The entity serves exclusively as a sub-recipient under the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, receiving five federal grant sub-awards totaling $59 thousand across a five-year span since 2019.

County Of Polk's entire federal grant work centers on child support enforcement and paternity establishment under the Social Security Act Title IV-D program, administered through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as the prime grantee. The three named sub-awards on file (dated December 28, 2022; November 15, 2023; and January 12, 2025) carry identical scope: providing courts and law enforcement officials with information necessary to locate absent parents, establish paternity, and secure child support orders in compliance with 45 CFR 302.34 and 235.70. County Of Polk also administers Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and IV-E Foster Care support services as part of the state's child support enforcement infrastructure under Nebraska Revised Statutes 43-512 through 43-3347. All five awards in the source data flow through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as the federal prime grantee, with County Of Polk positioned as the subordinate judicial and law enforcement partner at the county level.

Activity has remained flat and sparse — one award per year or every two years — with the most recent sub-award issued January 12, 2025. The entity has no federal contracting capacity, no seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs, and no federal contract prime or sub-prime awards. Federal engagement is limited to the child support enforcement sub-grant relationship with HHS and the Nebraska state government.
