Jamestown Regional Airport Authority

Jamestown Regional Airport Authority, doing business as Jamestown Regional Airport, is a U.S. local government entity and airport authority based in Jamestown, North Dakota, that receives federal infrastructure grants as a prime recipient under the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program and related initiatives (CFDA 20.106, 20.116, 20.117). The airport does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; it operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient managing airfield capital projects and maintenance funded through the FAA's Great Lakes Region office.

The airport's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated. The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region accounts for 24 awards in the source data, with the broader FAA organization representing an additional 16 awards—together covering 47% of the award count. All 85 awards in the source are prime grants to the airport authority itself; no sub-recipient or sub-contract activity appears in the record. The combined obligated value across all awards reaches $33 million against a $99 thousand combined potential value, indicating that the majority of grant dollars have been drawn down into actual expenses rather than remaining as unfunded ceilings.

Jamestown Regional Airport has received a sustained stream of FAA grants over recent years for runway and taxiway pavement rehabilitation, airfield lighting system reconstruction, apron resurfacing, navigational aids installation, snow removal equipment acquisition and building expansion, and aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment upgrades. Recent representative awards include $1,609,823 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) for Phase 2 and final-phase pavement rehabilitation work (completion June 8, 2030), $1,080,177 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) for comprehensive pavement rehabilitation and sealing of runways and taxiways (completion June 8, 2030), $2.1 million under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for snow removal equipment building expansion (completion May 14, 2029), and $1,055,083 in American Rescue Plan Act economic relief funding (CFDA 20.106) supporting operations, personnel, and debt service during the COVID-19 pandemic period (completion February 16, 2026). A $221,000 design-phase grant awarded July 21, 2025, under CFDA 20.106 funds planning for comprehensive pavement preservation across approximately 26,255 linear feet of runways and taxiways. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

The airport's NAICS profile reflects its nature as a facility lessor: the top NAICS is 53112 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), with 45 awards, and the top PSC is F102 (Lease/Rental Of Office Buildings), with 42 awards. The airport holds a Basic Ordering Agreement (GS08B13776) with 44 task orders and $96 thousand combined potential value. The airport competes for all grants full-and-open; no set-aside categories apply to federal grant recipients.
