Tinicum TWP

Tinicum Township, a U.S. local government entity in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, functions exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal grant funds rather than as a prime contractor or grant recipient. The township has received three sub-awards totaling $642 thousand over the past three years, all routed through Pennsylvania state agencies as prime grantees, with no direct federal contracting or prime grant relationships.

Tinicum's federal grant footprint centers on open-space conservation and disaster recovery. The township received two sub-awards from the Department of Conservation & Natural Resources Pennsylvania for conservation easement acquisition on 75.80 acres in Tinicum Township—one in July 2022 and a second in November 2024, both supporting open-space protection objectives. In July 2022, Tinicum also received a Public Assistance sub-award from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to restore public facilities and services damaged by the August 31–September 5, 2021 Ida Floods. The sub-award was sized to supplement state and local restoration resources and return public infrastructure to pre-disaster function and capacity. Activity has remained flat, with one award annually in 2022, 2024, and 2025. All federal funding flows through Pennsylvania state agencies as intermediaries, with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 and FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards identified as the underlying federal grantor agencies. The township does not bid on federal contracts, hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or sub-contract under federal primes; its federal footprint is limited to local-government grant pass-throughs for land conservation and disaster recovery.
