About this agency
The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Headquarters, a civilian sub-agency of USDA, administers federal contracts and grants supporting conservation and natural-resources management initiatives. NRCS funds conservation research, technical assistance, and land-stewardship projects through both competitive procurement and cooperative research agreements with academic and private-sector partners.
NRCS has awarded 1,246 federal contracts totaling $695.3 million in combined potential value since 2007, with $620.6 million obligated. Recent contract activity has declined substantially: 32 awards in 2022, 124 in 2023, 58 in 2024, 14 in 2025, and 7 so far in 2026. The most recent contract award closed on October 1, 2026. Among the 494 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio, competitive concentration is moderate by award count but fragmented by dollar value. New TECH Solutions, Inc. leads by award frequency with 94 recent awards totaling $42 million in potential value over the last five years, followed by Sysorex Government Services, Inc. (8 awards, $475 thousand) and Panamerica Computers, Inc. (6 awards, $212 thousand). By potential value, Advanced Computer Concepts, Inc. and Hexagon US Federal, Inc. rank higher despite lower award counts, suggesting concentrated large contracts alongside numerous smaller awards. The top five primes account for 51 percent of recent awards but only 21 percent of combined potential value, indicating a fragmented competitive landscape where volume leaders do not dominate dollar value. The contract portfolio is open to all vendors: 81 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with the remaining 19 percent split among small-business categories, predominantly 8(a) sole-source awards (5 percent) and total small-business awards (9 percent).
NRCS has awarded 86 federal grants totaling $19.4 million in federal dollars obligated since 2018, with all awards structured as Cooperative Agreements. Grant activity peaked in 2024 with 25 awards; 2021 recorded 5 awards, 2022 recorded 8 awards, and 2023 recorded 3 awards. The most recently recorded grant award is dated September 9, 2027, indicating a future-dated commitment. Grant recipients are moderately concentrated among 50 distinct academic institutions: Oregon State University leads with 3 awards totaling $1 million in federal dollars, followed by Iowa State University of Science and Technology and North Carolina State University (2 awards each). The top five recipients account for 31 percent of recent awards and 23 percent of federal dollars obligated, reflecting moderate concentration among land-grant and research universities.
