York County Board Of Supervisors

York County Board of Supervisors, operating through its Central Purchasing Division and doing business as York County, is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Yorktown, Virginia that operates a regional 800 MHz radio system and delivers federal contracts as a prime (55% of recent awards) and sub-recipient (45%) across radio communications maintenance, infrastructure, and social services programs. York County competes full-and-open, with no set-aside designations, and holds no federal IDIQs or GWACs; its prime footprint centers on small purchase orders and direct grants.

York County's concrete federal capability set splits between radio system operations and local infrastructure and human-services administration. The vendor operates the 800 MHz radio system serving the Yorktown area and U.S. Coast Guard Training Center. On the radio side, York County holds a $44.1 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order with the Coast Guard for monthly airtime and maintenance on 21 radios (awarded June 2026, completion May 2031); a $71.7 thousand purchase order with the National Park Service for airtime and maintenance at Colonial National Historical Park (awarded September 2022, completion September 2027); and a $81 thousand sole-source purchase order from the Coast Guard for 18 Motorola APX 4000 portable radios and accessories for the Training Center (awarded September 2021, completion October 2021). On the infrastructure and social-services side, York County is a recipient of a $460.9 thousand FEMA Port Security Grant Program award (CFDA 97.056, awarded September 2025, completion August 2028) supporting maritime security enhancements; a wastewater infrastructure grant from the EPA Region 3 supporting design and construction of the Whites-Faulkner sewer extension, decommissioning 103 septic systems and 14 grinder pumps (awarded October 2023, completion October 2030); and a Head Start project grant from the Office of Head Start (awarded July 2023, completion June 2028).

Customer concentration is concentrated in public safety and maritime agencies. The Coast Guard and National Park Service account for 30 awards and $478 thousand combined potential value across the top five customer agencies (covering 51% of award count and 88% of potential value). The Coast Guard alone represents 23 awards and $288 thousand; the National Park Service Northeast Region holds 7 awards and $190 thousand. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs round out the active set through sub-awards and pass-through allocations routed through Virginia state agencies. York County does not sit on named federal vehicles; it competes direct with federal agencies on small purchases and grant solicitations.

York County's federal grant footprint centers on FEMA, EPA, and Department of Health and Human Services programming. As a prime recipient, York County holds direct grants from FEMA (Port Security, CFDA 97.056), EPA Region 3 (wastewater infrastructure), and the Office of Head Start. As a sub-recipient, York County receives allocations from the Virginia Department of Social Services (federal child-care and social-services funding), the Virginia Department of Transportation (surface transportation and infrastructure grants), the Department of Criminal Justice Services Virginia (victim-witness assistance and prosecutor programs), and the Virginia State Board of Health (child and adult care food programs). Sub-awards span local budget allocations, victim-witness victim advocacy and support, VSTOP domestic-violence prosecution, emergency management (including COVID-era FEMA pass-throughs), and infrastructure such as the Bypass Road sidewalk reconstruction.

Activity has grown over the past three years — five awards in 2022 to twenty-five in 2024, with one award in 2026 year-to-date — though recent awards are predominantly grant sub-allocations rather than new prime procurement. The recompete window shows two awards (combined potential value $72 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. York County's combined potential value across all 128 awards is $594 thousand, a small-dollar profile consistent with local government service-delivery and infrastructure grants; combined dollars obligated across all awards total $45.2 million, indicating substantial historical cash flow relative to the modest ceiling values typical of county grants and small purchase orders.
