Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport Authority

Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport Authority, a U.S. government entity and airport authority based in Lewiston, Idaho, receives federal grant funding as a recipient under the Airport Improvement Program and related Federal Aviation Administration aviation infrastructure initiatives. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient—100% of its recent award footprint consists of project grants with no subcontract work—and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

The Authority's federal grant activity concentrates entirely within the Department of Transportation, specifically the Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region. Twenty-two of thirty recent awards (100% of combined potential value shown in the portfolio) originate from FAA's Northwest Mountain Region office; six additional awards come through the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration administrative line; and two awards are sourced through the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region. FAA awards dominate both volume and funding, supporting taxiway construction and rehabilitation, runway lighting and signage work, snow removal and ground equipment acquisition, and airport planning studies at Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport.

Recent representative project grants include a $3.874 million award on August 18, 2026 (most recent), under CFDA 20.116, to construct a new 1,385-foot Taxiway D and install taxiway lighting through August 2030; a $1.929 million award on September 8, 2025, under CFDA 20.106, for installation of new lighting on Taxiway B and rehabilitation of 1,602 feet of existing paved Taxiway B through September 2029; a $2.691 million award on September 10, 2024, under CFDA 20.106, for reconstruction of runway signage, rehabilitation of taxiway and lighting, resealing of 6,500 feet of runway pavement, and rehabilitation of runway lighting through September 2028; and a $785.917 thousand award on July 29, 2025, under CFDA 20.106, for acquisition of one new truck with plow snow removal equipment through July 2029. Earlier grants include a $233.510 thousand award on July 9, 2026, under CFDA 20.117, for aircraft rescue and fire fighting safety equipment acquisition and access road reconstruction through July 2030.

Award activity has remained stable, with two awards per year in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, and three in 2024. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority's combined potential value across all awards in the source records is stated as $8 thousand, though obligated dollars total $45.1 million—a reflection of the time-lag between grant award and full obligation draw-down typical in airport infrastructure programs with multi-year completion horizons.
