County Of Sevier

County of Sevier, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Richfield, Utah, acts as both a federal grant recipient and a prime contractor on small delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts with USDA and the National Interagency Fire Center. The county competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations and operates as a government entity rather than a for-profit vendor; its federal footprint centers on rural infrastructure, forestry support, public safety, and emergency watershed protection in the Intermountain Region.

County of Sevier's award activity has accelerated modestly in recent years, growing from one award in 2022 to four each in 2024 and 2025. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 57% of recent awards and track heavily to the Department of Agriculture and its sub-offices — the National Resources Conservation Service (nine awards), the Forest Service Region 4–Intermountain Region (three awards, $6 thousand combined potential value), Rural Housing Service programs (four awards across two offices), and the National Interagency Fire Center (one award, $150 thousand). The potential-value ranking diverges sharply: the Interagency Fire Center's single indefinite delivery contract for County of Sevier Fairgrounds land use (through May 31, 2029, ceiling $150 thousand) dominates dollar exposure, while NRC and regional Forest Service work anchor volume.

County of Sevier's primary grant work spans emergency watershed protection, drinking water infrastructure, economic development, and public safety. A $5.19 million Cooperative Agreement from the USDA National Resources Conservation Service (CFDA 10.923, Emergency Watershed Protection Program, awarded April 17, 2026, completion September 25, 2026) funds post-fire flooding and debris flow mitigation to protect drinking water springs, hydroelectric intakes, irrigation systems, homes, wells, and roads in Utah. An $3.09 million EPA Region 8 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 66.202, Congressionally Mandated Projects, awarded August 1, 2025, completion April 30, 2027) funds drinking water infrastructure construction and waterline installation in Elsinore, Utah. A $1.037 million Bureau of Justice Assistance Project Grant (CFDA 16.753, awarded July 1, 2024, completion December 31, 2026) supports the Central Utah Public Safety Project, including full-body scanners in Sevier and Millard County jails, body-worn cameras for law enforcement, and search-and-rescue equipment. A $229 thousand USDA Rural Utilities Service grant (CFDA 10.766, awarded March 30, 2022) supported rural health care facilities, and an Economic Development Administration project grant awarded September 15, 2025 (completion September 15, 2026) funds a feasibility study of a Marysvale Canyon rail corridor to diversify the regional economy.

On the contract side, County of Sevier holds an indefinite delivery contract (Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202RZ24T0099, awarded June 1, 2024, ceiling $150 thousand, through May 31, 2029) from the National Interagency Fire Center for County of Sevier Fairgrounds land use, with two task orders. Recent prime delivery orders from USDA Region 4–Intermountain Region carry minimal values: $500 for Monroe Peak land rental (August 15, 2025), $2.2 thousand for a short-term service delivery order (July 13, 2025), and $3.6 thousand for a prior-year order (July 6, 2024). County of Sevier also receives federal grant sub-awards routed through state intermediaries, including Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG pass-thru, May 22, 2026 and July 1, 2023) and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program awards from the Utah Department of Public Safety (March 3, 2026). One award exposes the combined potential value across all recent awards as $156 thousand, while the combined obligated dollars across all awards total $12 million, reflecting large grant obligations against modest contract ceilings. A single award faces recompete within the next twenty-four months.
