County Of Uinta

County Of Uinta, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Evanston, Wyoming and operating through the Uinta County Treasurer Division, acts primarily as a federal grant recipient (68% of recent awards sub-grant awards routed through state intermediaries) with minimal prime federal contracting exposure. The county's federal footprint centers on airport infrastructure development and community services delivery rather than traditional federal procurement, with recent activity dominated by Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grants and sub-grants flowing from Wyoming state agencies for public health, emergency management, and community development.

County Of Uinta's customer concentration reflects its role as a sub-recipient within state grant structures. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 55% of recent awards, led by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region (9 awards) and the FAA nationally (7 awards), followed by the Federal Highway Administration (5 awards), the CDC (4 awards), and the Administration for Children and Families (4 awards). The county has served 16 distinct federal funding agencies across recent activity. However, the relationship between volume and dollar value diverges sharply: the single prime contract award from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region carries $5,250 in potential value, while the FAA grants represent the majority of obligated dollars through multi-year airport development projects.

County Of Uinta's prime work consists almost entirely of Federal Aviation Administration grants focused on Fort Bridger Airport, Wyoming. Recent examples include a $234,147 formula grant (CFDA 20.116, Airport Improvement Program) awarded June 4, 2026, for installation of an Automated Weather Observing System III Portable/Transportable, and a $147,778 project grant (CFDA 20.117, Airport Infrastructure Grants) also awarded June 4, 2026, for the design phase of general aviation apron reconstruction. Both carry completion dates of June 3, 2030. Earlier FAA grants span taxiway and apron reconstruction across multiple phases, with awards dating to 2022. The county also received pandemic economic relief grants from the FAA in 2021 under the American Rescue Plan Act and Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act. A single $5,250 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Forest Service's Intermountain Region (awarded August 13, 2025, ultimate completion September 2, 2025) represents the county's only recent prime federal contract, covering land rental services in Beulah, Utah with performance in Riverton, Utah.

County Of Uinta's sub-grant footprint spans public health, emergency management, community services, and transportation. The county receives sub-grants from the Wyoming Department of Health (primarily under Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse, CFDA 93.959, and Community Services Block Grant, CFDA 93.569), the Wyoming Department of Transportation (dust suppression and road treatment projects), the Wyoming Attorney General (victim services and emergency assistance), and direct awards supporting county emergency management operations. Awards for library HVAC system renovation, emergency management payroll and training, P-25 compliant radio equipment, and security infrastructure reflect the county's role as a community-level grant management entity rather than a specialized federal contractor.

Activity has remained modest and flat over the past five years—nine awards annually in 2022 and 2023, declining to four or five per year in 2024–2026. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete pressure. The county maintains named subsidiaries including Uinta County Fire Protection, a county government entity, and a transit authority, though these subsidiary structures do not anchor separate federal award streams in the source data.
