County Of Idaho

County of Idaho, doing business as Idaho County Sheriffs Office, is a U.S. local government entity (county structure) that serves as a prime recipient on federal grants and a prime contractor on smaller federal purchase orders for law enforcement patrol services, wildland fire support, land and facility use, and airport infrastructure projects. The vendor operates entirely outside set-aside categories and competes on full-and-open bases as a government entity; recent activity spans 55 total awards (43 prime, 12 sub-awards) with combined potential value of $343 thousand, though obligated dollars across the portfolio total $28.1 million, indicating that many awards have flowed to completion or execution stage.

County of Idaho's customer base concentrates heavily on natural-resource and transportation agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 69% of recent awards and are led by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) with 13 awards totaling $233 thousand in combined potential value, followed by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (12 awards), the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (6 awards), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (4 awards, $46 thousand), and the Forest Service at other regional levels (3 awards, $5 thousand). When ranked by dollar value, the USDA Forest Service R1-Northern Region again leads at $233 thousand, with a single BLM Oregon-Washington award at $49 thousand representing outsized contract value. The portfolio reflects a strong geographic anchor in Idaho forestry and aviation infrastructure work.

Capability delivery centers on three domains. Wildland fire response and forest restoration dominate the contract footprint—12 awards across NAICS "Support Activities for Forestry" and PSC "Natural Resources/Conservation - Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression." Representative contract work includes a $32 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from BLM Idaho Region (awarded September 2023, completion June 2028) for law enforcement patrol services in Idaho County; multiple land and facility use purchase orders from USDA Forest Service Region 1 for wildfire incident support in the $8.8 thousand to $110.5 thousand range (2021–2023); and a $5.58 million cooperative agreement from the USDA Forest Service (awarded May 2024, performance through September 2031) as prime awardee for forest restoration and hazardous fuels reduction in the Lower Salmon Wildfire Crisis Landscape under CFDA 10.724 (Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes program). Law enforcement and traffic safety capture 4 awards under NAICS "Police Protection," routed through sub-award channels from the Idaho Department of Transportation and Idaho State Military Division. Airport infrastructure grants from the Federal Aviation Administration comprise a secondary thrust: County of Idaho holds or has held prime grant awards for pavement sealing and repair design and construction, apron reconstruction design and final design phases, weather reporting equipment reconstruction, and landside development analysis at Grangeville Airport, ranging from $58 thousand to $213.9 thousand each and spanning 2021–2030 completion dates under CFDA 20.116 (Airport Improvement Program) and CFDA 20.117 (Airport Infrastructure Grants).

Activity has declined year over year—two awards in 2022, eight in 2023, six in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026—with two awards (combined potential value $32 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. In its subcontractor posture, County of Idaho performs as a sub-recipient on federal transportation safety and broadband grants, including subawards from the Idaho Department of Transportation for traffic enforcement programs and high-visibility enforcement mobilizations under federal highway safety grant programs, subawards from the Idaho State Military Division for roads and bridges capital planning, and a $500 thousand subaward from the State of Idaho for BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment) regional coordination and planning (awarded July 2024). The vendor also receives pass-through funding for COVID-related airport economic relief and broadband-expansion support via state intermediaries. County of Idaho operates through two named subsidiaries: Idaho County Of (county government structure) and Idaho County Of (non-profit grants organization), reflecting a split between contract and grant transacting entities.
