Town Of Huntington

Town Of Huntington, a U.S. municipality based in Huntington, New York, acts as the prime recipient of federal grants for public transit operations, emergency management, and community development, with no federal contract prime awards in its current portfolio. The town operates as a local government entity and parent organization; it maintains two named subsidiaries — Dix Hills Fire District and Town Of Huntington Community Development Corporation — and competes exclusively for formula grants and pass-through awards rather than competitive solicitations.

The town's federal footprint concentrates on three grantor agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 31 of 77 total awards, predominantly disaster relief and emergency management sub-awards passed through the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services following debris removal, infrastructure repair, and emergency response work. The Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration funds 22 awards centered on transit fleet replacement, vehicle procurement, and paratransit operations for the town's Huntington Area Rapid Transit (HART) system. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development administers 15 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) awards on a formula basis for housing, economic development, and community improvement activities. These three agencies account for 95% of recent award volume. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service each contributed smaller award counts.

Recent prime grant work includes a $2,885,000 Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded in September 2023 for vehicle fleet replacement, mobile application implementation, automatic voice annunciation system upgrades, and fixed-route system study; a $1,845,000 Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) dated September 2024 for transit and paratransit vehicle replacement, facility overhead door replacement, and forklift procurement; a $107,788 Federal Transit Administration Buses and Bus Facilities grant (CFDA 20.526) awarded August 2026 for maintenance support vehicle acquisition; and recurring CDBG entitlement grants from HUD (CFDA 14.218) for community development activities with multi-year performance periods extending through 2031 and 2033. The town also acts as sub-recipient on pass-through grants from the New York State Education Department (CNP Block Consolidated) and the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for disaster recovery, emergency management, and infrastructure repair.

Activity has remained stable at five to ten awards annually over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all awards at $82.7 million. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal or recompete decision. The town does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs) and does not generate prime federal contract work. Its federal engagement is exclusively grant-based, with 57% of awards held as prime recipient and 43% as sub-recipient, concentrated in infrastructure, transit operations, and emergency response portfolios.
