Sidney Airport Authority

Sidney Airport Authority, a local government entity managing Sidney Municipal Airport in Sidney, Nebraska, acts as a federal grant recipient under the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program and related initiatives, with no federal contract prime or subcontractor footprint. All fifteen awards in the source record are project grants, all held as prime recipient (100% of awards), with no subcontractor role.

The Sidney Airport Authority's entire recent federal footprint concentrates on hangar construction and airport infrastructure modernization. The vendor has received nine FAA project grants since 2022, all funded through CFDA 20.106 (Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs) or CFDA 20.117 (Airport Infrastructure Grants), with a single American Rescue Plan Act economic-relief grant awarded in November 2021. Grant work centers on construction of a new 12,000 square foot T-hangar facility for aircraft storage, maintenance, and service at Sidney Municipal Airport. Representative awards include a $593,153.33 project grant awarded in September 2022 covering 22.95% of Phase 1 hangar construction, a $501,735.56 project grant awarded in June 2023 covering 43.76% of a subsequent phase, and a $144,210.53 project grant awarded in May 2026 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) funding the final construction phase with completion expected by June 28, 2027. The hangar project unfolds across multiple coordinated federal grant awards, with each grant funding a discrete percentage of total project costs; remaining eligible portions are funded through complementary Airport Improvement Program and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants. Grant purposes are to construct aircraft storage and service capacity enabling the airport to generate revenue and achieve greater financial self-sustainability.

Customer concentration sits entirely with the Federal Aviation Administration's Central Region office — 12 of 15 awards directly to FAA Central Region, with 3 additional awards to FAA headquarters (100% coverage across the Department of Transportation). Award volume remains flat to declining — two awards per year in 2022 and 2023, declining to one award each in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Only one award (the American Rescue Plan Act relief grant) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, with remaining active awards extending through June 2029. The vendor holds no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs; all work is direct grant authority from FAA. The combined dollars obligated across all fifteen awards totals $9.1 million, reflecting the capital-project nature of hangar construction funding distributed across multiple phases and coordinated federal programs.
