Town Of Dodson

Town Of Dodson, a local government entity in Dodson, Montana, operates as a sub-recipient on federal water infrastructure grants, with no federal contract prime awards or contract vehicles in its footprint. The municipality acts exclusively as a grant sub-recipient (90% of recent awards), receiving pass-through funding from a single federal grantor — the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service — for water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance projects.

The Town's federal award activity is sparse and recent. Between 2018 and 2023, Dodson received ten total awards with $1.1 million in combined obligations obligated across all awards. Activity peaked in 2019 with six awards, then dropped to one award in 2018 and three in 2023 (the most recent award dated December 27, 2023). The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service accounts for the single identified customer agency; all named work involves water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance delivered at the Town's location in rural Montana. Three sub-grant awards from December 2023 carry identical descriptions of water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance, suggesting either a bundled sub-award or co-funding across multiple program lines within the same grant cycle.

Dodson holds no seat on federal contracting vehicles, does not hold direct prime contract awards, and does not appear in federal subcontractor databases under contract vehicles. The Town's role is confined to accepting and managing federal grant sub-awards passed through a state or regional intermediary on behalf of the USDA Rural Utilities Service. This profile is typical of small municipalities receiving rural infrastructure assistance rather than federal contractors seeking business development opportunities; Dodson's relevance to federal contractors is primarily as a potential customer site for infrastructure work or a host community for federally funded projects, not as a teaming partner or competitor for federal prime or sub contract work.
