About this agency
The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Southeast Region is a civilian sub-agency that procures and contracts for natural-resource conservation, environmental planning, and infrastructure services in support of USDA soil and water stewardship programs across southeastern states. The Southeast Region awards contracts directly to support on-the-ground conservation activities, technical assistance, and facility needs aligned with NRCS's mission to promote sustainable land and water management.
The Southeast Region has closed 6,181 federal contract awards since 2004, with combined potential value of $618 million and combined dollars obligated of $607.2 million. Recent contract volume has declined: 191 awards in 2022, 158 in 2023, 160 in 2024, 74 in 2025, and 67 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-10-18. The region sustains a highly fragmented prime contractor base of 1,305 distinct firms across its portfolio history, with no dominant vendor. Over the last five years, Essnova Solutions, Inc., EMC Inc., and Steelcase Inc. lead by award count with 29, 28, and 26 awards respectively, but together account for only 18 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, Athena Engineering & Environmental, LLC tops recent activity at $12.3 million across 9 awards, followed by New TECH Solutions, Inc. at $4.6 million across 14 awards; however, the top five vendors by value cover only 4 percent of combined potential value, reflecting consistent distribution across a broad contractor roster.
The set-aside mix is heavily weighted to open competition: 65 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 30 percent of total awards, distributed across traditional Small Business (1,827 awards), 8(a) Sole Source (222 awards), and HUBZone (54 awards). Remaining set-aside categories—Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, and Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business—collectively account for less than 1 percent of awards. The region obligated 98 percent of combined potential value, indicating mature execution across its awarded portfolio.
No recent contract opportunities are present in the source data.
