County Of Twin Falls

County Of Twin Falls, a U.S. local government entity based in Twin Falls, Idaho, operates as both a prime recipient of federal grants and a subrecipient in criminal justice, law enforcement, and emergency services programs, with minimal direct federal contracting activity. The county's federal footprint is dominated by grant work — 67% of recent awards are prime grants or prime cooperative agreements — concentrated in law enforcement capacity building, jail-based treatment programs, and runaway youth services, with substantial parallel activity as a subrecipient under Idaho state agencies that pass through federal dollars.

Law enforcement and criminal justice dominate the customer concentration and capability portfolio. The Bureau of Justice Assistance leads with 22 awards anchoring the portfolio, funding Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) block grants that support mental health and behavioral wellness apps for law enforcement officers, leadership training and career development, and jail-based substance abuse treatment and recovery (RSAT) programs. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region follows with 9 awards totaling $157 thousand in combined potential value, primarily for noxious weed control and management on BLM lands through a cooperative weed management area (CWMA) agreement. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement round out the top five customer agencies by award count, collectively accounting for 64% of all awards. A recent prime contract award — an $8,500 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Idaho Region civilian federal agency for Twin Falls Sheriff Service Contract work (award date February 11, 2026, extending through June 30, 2031) — illustrates the county's direct contracting capacity for law enforcement services, though this remains atypical relative to the grant-heavy baseline.

The county's subrecipient footprint is material and growing. Recent sub-awards routed through Idaho State Police fund in-car camera systems for the Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office, jail-based RSAT treatment and reentry services, and crime victim services. Sub-awards from the Idaho Department of Transportation support the Sheriff's participation in seatbelt enforcement, distracted driving awareness, and impaired driving mobilization campaigns under federal highway safety grant authority. The Idaho State Board of Education passes through National School Lunch Program (NSLP) sub-awards; the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare channels crime victim services funding. This sub-award activity — 29 awards or 33% of the portfolio — reflects the county's role as an operational implementing partner within state-administered federal programs rather than as a direct federal prime.

Combined potential value across all 88 awards (prime and sub) stands at $197 thousand, but obligated dollars reach $7.2 million, indicating that the source's potential-value figures reflect small contract ceilings while actual invoiced revenue significantly exceeds stated contract values. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The county's NAICS profile centers on Security Guards and Patrol Services (15 awards), reflecting the law enforcement and detention services mission. No federal contracting vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, agency-wide BPAs) appear in the portfolio; the county participates under a single Blanket Purchase Agreement (INLDDB050533) with two task orders. The county has been registered in SAM.gov since 2004 and holds no SBA set-aside certifications, competing on a full-and-open basis across its federal awards.
