City Of Combes

City Of Combes, a Texas municipality operating as Waterworks, acts as a federal grant recipient (6% of recent awards as a prime recipient) and predominantly as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs (94% of recent awards), with no federal contract prime or sub work in the source data. The City is a U.S. local government entity with no awarded federal contract vehicles and no federal contract prime awardees on record.

The City's grant footprint centers on disaster recovery, housing rehabilitation, and border-security enforcement funding. As a prime recipient, City Of Combes holds a single Economic Development Initiative Community Project Funding grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded August 13, 2024, with ultimate completion on August 31, 2032. As a sub-recipient, the City participates in fifteen grants spanning housing rehabilitation and reconstruction activities, Operation Stonegarden (border enforcement coordination with law-enforcement equipment and overtime), infrastructure projects, and disaster-recovery work. Representative sub-recipient awards include multiple awards for owner-occupied single family housing rehabilitation or reconstruction (six sub-awards between February 2024 and December 2025), three Operation Stonegarden sub-grants (May 2023, March 2024, and December 2025) providing high-visibility border enforcement presence near Mexico territory corridors in coordination with local, state, and federal law enforcement, a November 2022 Highway Interdiction Equipment sub-grant from the Texas Governor's Office for two handheld x-ray imaging devices and contraband inspection kits, an August 2022 waterline replacement project replacing a 6-inch waterline with an 8-inch waterline along South Broadway, and April 2024 and May 2024 infrastructure competition awards. The source does not specify dollar magnitudes for individual sub-awards; combined potential value across all sixteen awards totals five million dollars obligated.

Customer concentration is minimal and restricted to two agencies: the Department of Housing and Urban Development (one award) and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (one award), covering only 13% of the award count. Activity shows growth from three awards in 2022 to nine in 2024, then three in 2025 year-to-date. The City operates entirely through federal grant mechanisms and does not appear in federal procurement vehicles.
