Sheridan County Airport

Sheridan County Airport, a county-owned local government entity and nonhub primary airport operator in Sheridan, Wyoming, acts as a federal grant recipient for airport infrastructure modernization and equipment acquisition funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program and Airport Infrastructure Grants program. The airport is a subsidiary of Sheridan County government and competes exclusively in full-and-open grant competitions; it holds no federal contract vehicles and does not serve as a prime or subcontractor on federal procurement awards.

Sheridan County Airport's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded and concentrated in runway, taxiway, apron, terminal, and emergency-response infrastructure. Recent representative work includes a $7.03 million Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) project grant awarded September 18, 2025, to fund Phase 2 construction for taxiway rehabilitation and shift activities — rehabilitating 900 feet of existing paved general aviation taxiway while shifting Taxiway A by 90 feet and Taxiway A3 by 285 feet to achieve FAA conformity standards through September 17, 2029. The airport also received a $1.917 million Airport Improvement Program project grant on August 19, 2025, to expand the Southwest General Aviation Apron by 8,250 square yards in Phase 2 construction, completing August 18, 2029. More recent awards include a $1.239 million Airport Improvement Program project grant on July 21, 2026, to acquire one Index B, Class 4 aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicle, and a $541,743 Airport Infrastructure Grants program award on June 18, 2026, under CFDA 20.117 to acquire a loader tractor for snow removal, both running through 2030. Earlier terminal expansion work includes a March 25, 2023 project grant for Phase 3 of a multi-phase terminal building expansion and rehabilitation project (expanding 2,500 square feet and rehabilitating public restrooms, baggage claim, and ticketing lobby), completing March 24, 2027.

Customer concentration reflects FAA regional oversight of airport improvement funding. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration and its Northwest Mountain Region office account for 34 awards of the 75 in the source data; the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing holds 14 awards carrying $815 thousand in combined potential value, driven by a Basic Ordering Agreement (GS08B14140) with 39 task orders valued at $2.3 million combined potential value — this vehicle appears to cover facility leasing rather than airport operations. Total awards across all federal sources reach 75 with $2.4 million in combined potential value, though $42.2 million has been obligated to date. Activity remains modest at two to three awards per year over the past four years, with the most recent award dated July 21, 2026.
