Port Townsend Port Of

Port Townsend Port Of Port Of Port Townsend Division, a local government-owned port authority established in 2002, acts as a prime recipient on federal grants for maritime and airport infrastructure development and holds a single contract award for boat hoist services supporting Navy vessel operations. The port authority operates without set-aside designation across its federal footprint and competes full-and-open.

The Port of Port Townsend's federal work splits between maritime and aviation infrastructure. On the maritime side, the port received a $1.97 million Project Grant from the Maritime Administration under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823) on February 3, 2026, to rehabilitate approximately 590 feet of the Boat Haven Main Breakwater, including re-grading the sand core and adding rock protection, with completion scheduled for December 15, 2027. The port also holds a $25,068.87 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Navy Installations Command, awarded July 23, 2025, for boat hoist services supporting TPS 64-foot boats and Mark 6 boats at Port Townsend, with ultimate completion July 22, 2026. On the aviation side, the port is the grant recipient for a portfolio of Federal Aviation Administration infrastructure projects at Port Townsend Airport under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), including a $625,405.92 formula grant for airport pavement maintenance and preservation (September 2025, completion September 2029), a $650,000 project grant for fuel farm expansion and a new 15,000-gallon fuel tank (September 2025, completion September 2029), an $870,998.89 formula grant for connector taxiway construction and airfield guidance signage (July 2023, completion July 2027), and $333,333.33 in project grants for airport master plan updates (August 2024 and September 2025, both extending through 2028–2029).

Customer concentration centers on the Federal Aviation Administration, which accounts for 13 awards through its Northwest Mountain Region office plus 6 awards through FAA headquarters — a combined 19 awards that dominate the award count. The Economic Development Administration funded a $14.06 million project grant (May 2022, completion May 2027) for design and construction of an 18-acre Marine Trades Industrial Park on Port of Port Angeles waterfront property to support the regional boat-building and boat-repair industry. The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded four sub-grants through the Washington State Military Department for disaster relief and mitigation planning related to severe winter storms, flooding, and landslides (January 2023 through August 2025). The port also serves as a sub-recipient on FEMA disaster-assistance grants administered by Washington State.

Activity has averaged one to five awards per year over the past five years, with one award recorded in 2026 to date. Three awards carrying combined potential value of $25 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete in that window. The port's work footprint reflects regional infrastructure development priorities: airport pavement preservation and modernization, maritime facility rehabilitation, and economic development support for the marine trades sector in the Olympic Peninsula region.
