City Of Hephzibah, Inc.

City Of Hephzibah, Inc., a municipality in Hephzibah, Georgia, receives federal grant funding as a sub-recipient through state and regional pass-through entities, with no direct prime contractor or grant recipient role in the federal contracting system. The city is a U.S. local government entity structured as a council of governments and operates exclusively as a sub-award recipient, not as a prime.

Hephzibah's federal funding footprint is narrowly concentrated in emergency management and environmental compliance work. Four of six recent sub-awards flow through the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, awarded between August and December 2025, covering debris removal under 100% and 75% cost-share arrangements, emergency protective measures with 100% cost share, and damaged utility buildings facilities restoration. A fifth sub-award from May 2024, passing through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, supported the city's inventory of lead service lines in its drinking water system. Activity is recent and clustered: four awards arrived in 2025 alone, following a single 2024 award and an earlier 2010 award, indicating either a surge in post-disaster federal assistance or newly documented grant participation. Combined obligated dollars across all six sub-awards total $3.2 million. The city serves three distinct federal customer agencies by count — the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters (four sub-awards), the Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 (one), and the Department of Energy (one) — though these dollars flow via state intermediaries rather than direct federal relationships. With zero prime contracts, zero IDV seats, and 100% sub-award dependency, Hephzibah does not operate as a federal contractor or grant prime and does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition vehicles.
