Town Of Ione

The Town of Ione, Washington, operating as City Hall, is a U.S. local government entity that receives federal infrastructure grants as a prime recipient for airport and transportation projects, not as a federal contractor. Ione operates exclusively in the grant space, with no prime or sub presence on federal contracts; the vendor is not pursuing set-asides or competing for task orders.

Ione's award footprint centers entirely on aviation infrastructure development and maintenance. The Federal Aviation Administration's Northwest Mountain Region dominates the customer base — twelve of sixteen tracked awards (75% of recent activity) fund airport improvement projects under CFDA 20.106 and 20.116 (Airport Improvement Program). Recent prime grant work includes a $731,453.68 Phase 2 construction grant awarded August 20, 2025, to build a new 170-foot taxilane, a 370-foot paved service road, a new helipad facility, and reconstruct 100 feet of gravel access road at Ione airport with completion by August 19, 2029; a $282,081.05 runway reseal and resurfacing grant awarded June 1, 2026, to repair 3,643 linear feet of Runway 15/33 pavement through May 31, 2030; and a $218,953.97 Phase 1 design grant awarded January 15, 2025, for taxilane, service road, and helipad design work with completion by January 14, 2029. Ione also received a $511,000 American Rescue Plan Act economic-relief grant from the FAA in November 2021 to cover airport operations, personnel, cleaning, and debt service costs related to COVID-19. Beyond aviation, Ione acts as a sub-recipient on two sub-grants: a lead service line replacement project sub-awarded by the Washington State Department of Health (September 2024) and bridge resurfacing work sub-awarded by the Washington State Department of Transportation (September 2024).

Activity is episodic and light — three awards in 2021, one in 2022, then two each in 2024 and 2025, and one in 2026 — with combined dollars obligated of $8.9 million across eighteen awards since 2007. The vendor serves six distinct customer agencies, but concentration is extreme: the FAA (both the main agency and its Northwest Mountain Region office) anchors 89% of awards. Ione has no recompete cliff typical of contractors; grant completion dates are staggered across 2026–2030, and grant cycles follow their own renewal or close-out cadence rather than contract recompete windows.
