Weber County

Weber County, doing business as Ice Sheet, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Ogden, Utah, operates as a federal grant recipient and a facility lessor providing conference center and meeting space services to federal agencies on a cost-reimbursable basis. The vendor is a county government without SBA designations; it competes full-and-open across all award categories with no set-aside posture.

Weber County's federal footprint splits between two distinct capability streams. The primary capability is conference center and meeting space rental — the vendor operates the Ogden Eccles Conference Center under lease/rental agreements with federal agencies. A secondary and growing capability is criminal justice and public health grant administration, where Weber County acts as the prime recipient for federal grants supporting local prosecutorial capacity, substance abuse reentry programming, and watershed rehabilitation. Top NAICS categories reflect this split: Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (12 awards), Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events with Facilities (5 awards), and Libraries and Archives (4 awards). Top PSC codes mirror the facility-lease focus: Lease/Rental Of Conference Space And Facilities (13 awards) and Support - Professional: Communications (14 awards).

Customer concentration is dispersed across eighteen distinct federal agencies, with no single customer dominating by award count or dollar value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station anchors activity by award volume (16 awards, $63 thousand combined potential value), primarily supporting meeting logistics and small communications services. By combined potential value, the Department of the Air Force leads (2 awards, $1 million), driven by a $500 thousand Blanket Purchase Agreement established February 12, 2026, and extended through February 11, 2031, with Hill Air Force Base's Sentinel Systems Program Office for repetitive conference center services. A second Air Force BPA call issued May 11, 2026, carries the same $500 thousand ceiling and runs through February 12, 2032. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (2 awards, $29 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance round out the top-dollar set.

Federal grant awards reflect Weber County's role in criminal justice and environmental stewardship. A $858 thousand cooperative agreement from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.076), awarded June 1, 2026, and running through May 31, 2029, funds Weber County to assign or hire qualified prosecutors serving as Special Attorneys or Special Assistant United States Attorneys under the Criminal Division, targeting fraud, alien crimes, and drug and human trafficking investigation and prosecution. A $0 million project grant from the same agency, awarded October 1, 2022, and completed September 30, 2026, supported peer recovery specialists and reentry coordinators serving justice-involved individuals with substance use disorders and homelessness. A cooperative agreement from the National Resources Conservation Service (awarded July 11, 2022, extending through April 1, 2027) supported a Utaba Rehabilitation Watershed Plan. As a sub-recipient, Weber County has passed through grant funding to the Weber-Morgan Health Department for HIV Prevention (under Utah Department of Health and Human Services administration).

Activity volume is low and volatile — one award in 2021, three in 2022, one each in 2023 and 2024, and four in 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value not specified) facing recompete completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars ($6.9 million) significantly exceed combined potential value ($1.2 million), a signal typical of cost-reimbursable facility lease arrangements where invoiced amounts exceed ceiling estimates. Weber County holds no positions on government-wide vehicles or GSA Schedules; all work is direct agency procurement or single-award BPAs with the Air Force and other named customers.
