Laramie Regional Airport

Laramie Regional Airport, a Wyoming municipal airport authority based in Laramie, is a federal grant recipient under the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program, receiving funding for airfield infrastructure modernization, equipment acquisition, and operational support as a prime recipient (100% of recent awards) with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint.

Laramie Regional Airport is a for-profit organization structured as a public entity. The airport operates as the recipient of federal infrastructure grants administered by the FAA's Northwest Mountain Region, with all seventy-eight awards in the source data representing grants rather than procurement contracts. The airport's capability focus is narrowly defined by the Airport Improvement Program: airfield pavement reconstruction, runway lighting system replacement, snow removal equipment acquisition and facility expansion, aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle procurement, and pandemic relief operations support. Representative recent work includes a $661 thousand project grant awarded June 24, 2026, for Phase 1 design of 24,000 square yards of general aviation apron pavement reconstruction (completion scheduled June 2030), a $1.66 million formula grant awarded August 20, 2025, for snow removal equipment building expansion by 2,625 square feet (completion August 2029), and a $1.09 million project grant awarded February 3, 2022, for COVID-19 economic relief covering airport operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service (completion February 2026).

The airport's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region (17 awards, 60% of the portfolio by award count). The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service appears in fourteen awards totaling $4 million in combined potential value, though these awards likely reflect lease or facility-management arrangements rather than aviation-infrastructure grants. Activity has declined sharply—three awards in 2022 down to one per year in 2024, 2025, and 2026—and only three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months. The airport holds a standing Basic Ordering Agreement with the General Services Administration (GS08B14142), which anchors forty task orders and $11.5 million in combined potential value, though this vehicle does not align with aviation-infrastructure grant work and may represent facility-lease or real-property transactions separate from the FAA grant portfolio. The airport's seventy-eight total awards since 2007 carry a combined potential value of $13 million against $26.3 million in obligated dollars, indicating that federal obligations significantly exceed stated potential value on grant instruments—a characteristic pattern for formula and project grants where final obligated amounts exceed initial award ceilings. No competitive contracting footprint exists.
