Petersburg Borough

Petersburg Borough, doing business as Municipal Hall, is a U.S. local government entity based in Petersburg, Alaska, that operates as a prime recipient on federal grants (88% of recent awards) and a subrecipient on federal grant programs, with a secondary role as a purchase-order contractor to the U.S. Coast Guard. The borough does not hold prime contract vehicles or IDIQs and does not compete under SBA set-asides.

Recent award activity clusters around three federal customer relationships. The U.S. Coast Guard (Department of Homeland Security) has issued seven purchase orders totaling $28 thousand in combined potential value for gym memberships ($4,000 per contract across multiple award cycles) and infrastructure work such as a $26,353.63 PDO transformer replacement. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Denali Commission round out the active federal portfolio, with the Denali Commission awarding two project grants in late 2024: a $990 thousand grant to replace the existing steel boom breakwater system (completion targeted January 31, 2027) and an unnamed Scow Bay haul-out and work yard project. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awarded Petersburg Borough a $225 thousand Community Facilities Loans and Grants (CFDA 10.766) project grant on June 9, 2026, running through June 9, 2028. The Department of Energy issued a formula grant under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Section 40552) with a performance window of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026.

Petersburg Borough's capability footprint, grounded in recent prime awards, centers on municipal infrastructure operations and maintenance, including fitness facility management (gym operations), electrical utility infrastructure (transformer replacement, power distribution), port and harbor operations, and emergency management and public safety coordination. The borough has also acted as subrecipient on federal grant programs including counter-narcotics operations (as a task force member under Southeast Alaska Cities Against Drugs, SEACAD, receiving $94,960 in prior-year funding from the Alaska Department of Public Safety to support a dedicated full-time investigator assignment) and disaster relief (Public Works culvert replacement under FEMA Public Assistance following DR-4585). Recent sub-award activity includes a February 2026 continuation grant from the Alaska Department of Public Safety for SEACAD participation and a January 2025 de-obligation amendment to the 2023 State Homeland Security Grant Program reducing the borough's award from $50,199 to $46,877.

Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $117 thousand and representing recompete opportunity. Combined dollars obligated across all awards ($13.3 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($426 thousand), reflecting the disparity between contract ceiling amounts and actual invoiced or spent amounts in the borough's award portfolio.
