Fairmont-Marion County Regional Airport Authority

Fairmont-Marion County Regional Airport Authority, a U.S. local government entity and airport authority headquartered in Fairmont, West Virginia, receives federal grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund airport infrastructure rehabilitation and modernization projects at Fairmont-Marion County Regional Airport. The vendor acts as a grant recipient only (100% prime awards, no subcontract activity) and does not hold federal contracts or IDVs.

All eighteen awards in the source data stem from the FAA, split between the FAA Eastern Region (15 awards) and the FAA main office (3 awards). The grant work funds concrete runway, taxiway, apron, and drainage improvements at the regional airport to meet Federal Aviation Administration design standards, extend pavement useful life, and maintain structural integrity. Recent representative grants include a $643,753.68 formula grant awarded July 28, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for installation of a Precision Approach Path Indicator System for Runway 5/23, rehabilitation of runway lighting, and rehabilitation of taxiway lighting, scheduled for completion by July 27, 2029; a project grant awarded July 30, 2026, for runway 5/23 rehabilitation design work spanning 2,965 feet of existing paved runway, with ultimate completion July 29, 2030; an August 20, 2024, project grant for taxilane rehabilitation (1,000 feet of existing pavement) completing August 19, 2028; and a September 11, 2023, project grant for apron rehabilitation (1,560 square yards of existing pavement) completing September 10, 2027.

Activity volume has remained sparse and irregular over the past five years—one award in 2022, two in 2023, one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026—with combined dollars obligated across all eighteen awards totaling $7.2 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, reflecting the multi-year design and construction timelines typical of airport infrastructure grants. The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and specialized: it operates exclusively as a grant recipient for regional airport capital improvement work funded through FAA's formula and project grant programs, with no involvement in competitive contracting or subcontracting relationships.
