Yuma County Airport Authority

Yuma County Airport Authority operates Yuma International Airport, a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2004. Located in Yuma, Arizona, the airport serves as a critical transportation infrastructure hub for the region, providing aviation services and facilities management. The organization receives federal awards primarily from the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), focusing on airport infrastructure improvement, maintenance, and operational support. As a government entity, Yuma County Airport Authority has demonstrated capabilities in managing complex airport-related projects and responding to national transportation needs.

The entity's federal contract award history is limited, with one notable Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) from the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration. This specific contract, valued at $180,675.00 and awarded on January 1, 2021, established a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Reimbursement Program. The contract did not have a specific set-aside designation and was completed by March 31, 2022. While the contract portfolio is modest, it indicates the airport's engagement with federal security and transportation initiatives.

Yuma County Airport Authority has been significantly more active in federal grant awards, particularly through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program. Grant awards have consistently focused on airport infrastructure rehabilitation, including taxiway reconstruction, terminal building improvements, and COVID-19 pandemic response. Notable grants include a $3,965,638.04 formula grant for taxiway rehabilitation in August 2024, a $1,000,000 project grant for terminal building security equipment updates in August 2024, and multiple pandemic-related economic relief grants totaling approximately $1.8 million. These grants have addressed critical needs such as pavement maintenance, security system upgrades, ADA compliance, and operational resilience, with completion dates ranging from 2025 to 2029. The grants predominantly come from the FAA's Western Pacific Region and support airport infrastructure development and modernization in the Yuma, Arizona region.
