O & N Airport Authority

O & N Airport Authority Olney Noble Airport Authority Division (doing business as Olney-Noble Airport Authority) is a local government airport authority based in Noble, Illinois that operates as a sub-recipient on federal grant awards for airport infrastructure development. The authority does not hold prime contracts or government-wide vehicles and competes exclusively through federal grant sub-awards flowing through state intermediaries.

The authority's recent federal footprint consists entirely of grant sub-awards from the Illinois Department of Transportation, acting as the prime grantee. All three recorded awards (September 2025) fund locally let building construction — specifically, the construction of new aircraft hangar units on a reimbursement basis. Combined obligated funding across these three sub-awards totals $881 thousand. The single federal customer agency on record is the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region, which provided the underlying federal grant authority through the state pass-through mechanism.

The authority operates at minimal scale within the federal procurement environment. Three awards in a single calendar year, concentrated in a single grant program flowing through a single state intermediary, indicates a nascent or occasional federal presence rather than an active federal contractor footprint. The reimbursement structure (locally let, then reimbursed) positions the authority as a project operator and facilities owner rather than as a services or goods vendor to the federal government. No parent vehicles, IDIQs, or standing contracts appear in the source record.
