County Of Yavapai

County Of Yavapai, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Prescott, Arizona, operates as a prime recipient and sub-recipient of federal grants across transportation infrastructure, workforce development, emergency management, housing, and public safety programs. The county is not a federal contractor; it receives federal grant funding administered through state and federal agencies, with 45% of its 168 recent awards as prime recipient status and 55% as sub-recipient (pass-through funding from state intermediaries and nonprofits).

The county's grant portfolio is concentrated in social services and infrastructure. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 48% of recent awards and span multiple federal programs. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families leads with 25 awards; the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Western Pacific Region follows with 16 awards; the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration, the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service round out the active set with 16, 15, and 8 awards respectively. The top-customer ranking by potential value is incomplete in the source data, but HHS Administration for Children and Families, FAA, HHS HRSA, and DOL remain dominant. Representative prime-recipient work includes a $2.869 million FAA Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) grant awarded August 24, 2026, to construct drainage pipeline at Sedona Airport through August 23, 2030; a $184 thousand FAA Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) grant awarded August 11, 2025, for design services on apron pavement reconstruction at Sedona Airport; and a $250 thousand Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) grant awarded May 8, 2024, to develop the Verde Valley Transportation Safety Plan through May 8, 2026. A $208 thousand USDA Forest Service Schools and Roads grant (CFDA 10.665) awarded April 20, 2023, funded Crown King Road repair. As a sub-recipient, the county receives pass-through funding from the Arizona Department of Economic Security (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Adult and Dislocated Worker programs), Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona Department of Public Safety, Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, and nonprofit intermediaries including Prevent Child Abuse Arizona and Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity for child welfare, victim services, emergency management, housing rehabilitation, and workforce programs targeting low-income households and youth.

Activity has grown from 12 awards in 2022 to 31 in 2024, with a modest pullback to 19 in 2025 and 8 in the first eight months of 2026. The combined potential value across all awards is negligible in the source data ($51 thousand), which is inconsistent with individual award amounts in the millions; this reflects likely data quality issues in the vendor portfolio summary. The obligated dollars total $43.6 million, suggesting substantial execution against the grant base. One Blanket Purchase Agreement (INLACB060006) appears in the top parent vehicles with 2 task orders, though this is a minor vehicle given the county's grant-focused posture. The corporate structure includes Yavapai County Government Prescott and the Williamson Valley Fire District as named subsidiaries, both operating as local government entities with their own federal funding streams.
