County Sherburne

County Sherburne is a local government entity located in Elk River, Minnesota, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2004. As a U.S. county government, it primarily provides detention and law enforcement support services to federal agencies, with a notable focus on serving Native American communities through intergovernmental agreements. The county has established itself as a critical service provider for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), particularly in the Midwest region, by offering adult detention center services that include housing, medical care, clothing, and transportation for Native American inmates.

Through federal contract awards, County Sherburne has consistently provided detention center services primarily to the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Midwest and Southern Plains Regions. These contracts, typically structured as Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call orders, range from $1,474 to $38,000 and involve housing Native American inmates, providing necessary support services, and maintaining detention facilities. All of these contracts have been awarded without set-aside designations, allowing open competition. The county has been a prime contractor for detention services, with contract performance locations centered in their Elk River, Minnesota adult detention center. The contracts consistently involve providing boarding, clothing, bedding, medical aid, and transportation for inmates referred from BIA facilities.

County Sherburne's federal grant awards demonstrate a strong focus on transportation and infrastructure improvements. The most significant grant is a $1,725,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration for a grade separation project at a railroad crossing in Becker Township. Other sub-grant awards primarily involve transportation-related projects with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, such as road reconstructions, trail constructions, intersection lighting, and road striping. Additionally, the county receives sub-grants for public health initiatives from the Minnesota Department of Health, including WIC supplemental programs and emergency preparedness, and public safety grants from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for crime victim services and emergency management.

County Sherburne holds two significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs), both with the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Midwest Region. The first is a $200,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded in October 2022, valid through June 2024, allowing for call orders for adult detention center services. The second is a $249,999 BPA awarded in August 2021, valid through August 2023, which covers detention services, law enforcement support, and corrections facility improvements. These IDVs have enabled the county to issue multiple firm fixed-price calls for detention and law enforcement services, supporting the Bureau's responsibilities in serving tribal communities. The IDVs are single-award agreements without set-aside provisions, positioning County Sherburne as a prime contractor for these critical regional services.
