Airport manager says expired SAM.gov registration is delaying FAA grant awards and reimbursements
Summary
City SAM.gov registration is expired because the staff account needs renewal after personnel turnover; the FAA cannot issue awards or reimbursements for multiple grants until the city resolves SAM.gov access, forcing the airport to temporarily cover construction costs for the SRE Building if necessary.
Airport management told the board that the City of Carson City’s SAM.gov registration is not active and must be renewed before federal grants can be awarded or reimbursements issued. The airport manager said the city’s account needs reauthorization following staff turnover and that the city has submitted paperwork; the agency is in a processing queue.
The manager said the FAA has approved award of the ramp rehabilitation project but cannot issue the award until the SAM.gov issue is resolved. The airport will not be able to submit reimbursement requests while the city account is inactive, meaning the airport may need to cover construction costs for projects such as the SRE Building until reimbursements are available. Airport staff said the airport’s own SAM.gov account is active but the FAA advised against switching accounts for existing projects.
Staff described three grant awards potentially affected and said the airport could draw from investment funds if necessary until the city’s SAM.gov registration is restored. The meeting transcript records staff explaining the operational and cash-flow risks but does not record a board directive beyond the discussion.
