County Of Prentiss

County of Prentiss, a U.S. local government entity based in Booneville, Mississippi, receives federal grants and operates as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure, road rehabilitation, and supplemental law enforcement services, with minimal contracting footprint and no federal contract vehicles or subcontract activity. The county does not hold SBA certifications or set-aside designations; it competes full-and-open as a municipal entity in its areas of service delivery.

The county's award portfolio splits sharply between contract and grant work. On the contracting side, County of Prentiss holds a narrow but recurring posture: five recurring small firm fixed-price purchase orders for supplemental law enforcement services supporting the Prentiss County Sheriff's Office, issued by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (via ENDIST Mobile) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile. Three awards from the Corps of Engineers ran annually from 2022 through 2024 at $4,939.20 each; two awards from DCSA/ENDIST Mobile followed in May 2025 and May 2026 at $6,048 each, with performance in Dennis, Mississippi or at Columbus Air Force Base. These represent the entirety of the county's federal contract work — all award-to-date combined potential value on contracts is $26 thousand across five separate awards. One sub-grant award exists: a disaster relief sub-award via the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency dated January 24, 2026.

The grant portfolio dominates the county's federal footprint. County of Prentiss is a prime recipient on twelve distinct grant awards totaling $104 thousand in combined potential value, concentrated in airport infrastructure modernization at Booneville-Baldwyn Airport. Two recent Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grants (CFDA 20.106) awarded July 28, 2025, fund runway lighting reconstruction ($395,429) and precision approach path indicator system replacement ($150,550), both targeting July 27, 2029 completion. Earlier FAA airport grants span runway and taxiway rehabilitation, apron resurfacing, and fuel farm expansion, issued August 2022 through August 2023. The county also holds grants for road rehabilitation (Federal Highway Administration, April 28, 2023, scheduled completion December 31, 2024), erosion and water management technical assistance and financial aid via the National Resources Conservation Service (May 18, 2023, completed December 15, 2024, under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), community facility improvements (Rural Utilities Service, August 8, 2023), and pandemic economic relief under the American Rescue Plan Act (December 1, 2021).

Customer concentration sits with two agencies. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile accounts for 76% of recent awards (14 awards, $79 thousand combined potential value) through recurring supplemental law enforcement contracts. The Federal Aviation Administration, split between the Southern Region and headquarters, drives grant volume (18 total awards) and long-term project dollars centered on Booneville Airport infrastructure. The combined obligated value across all awards ($10.6 million) vastly exceeds the combined potential value ($104 thousand), indicating that the source reflects recent awards while historical obligated amounts from earlier FAA and infrastructure grants drive the gap — the awards data itself does not explain this discrepancy. The county faces minimal recompete pressure: only one award (valued at $6 thousand) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.
