I found a solution that works for me. In my previous attempts I was not using an awk variable with -v. Thanks.

Code:
for id in {`cat counties.txt`}; do grep $id county-annual-average.txt > $id.txt; val=$(grep $id avgs.txt | awk '{print $2 }'); awk -v val="$val" '$4 < val' ${id}.txt | tail -1 | awk '{print $1" " $3" "$4}'; done

       --criteria=
		 A  list of criteria to apply to each generated hand to generate specific hand types.  The list should be space separated and each

		 E.g. --criteria="weaknt:0.8 strongnt:0.5"

		 Valid criteria are: unbalanced weaknt strongnt twont strongtwo weaktwo three twoclubs 4441  singlesuit  twosuits  partscore  game
		 slam game-invite slam-invite jumpshift jumpfit splinter bacon weird

       --probability=factor
		 Generate  hands matching the criteria with only the given probability. Factor is in the range 0 to 1. On each attempt to generate
		 a board it is rejected if it doesn't match the criteria with the given probability.  A factor of about  0.8  gives  roughly  half
		 matching boards
