Arizona State Office

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Arizona State Office is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that administers housing loan and grant programs for rural residents and communities in Arizona. The office funds and manages single-family housing loans, multifamily rental housing, community facilities, and essential infrastructure projects across rural Arizona.

The Arizona State Office has issued 982 total federal contract awards since 2016, with recent activity declining sharply. Across the last five years, the office awarded 84 contracts in 2019, 15 in 2020, 9 in 2021, 1 in 2022, and 1 in 2023. The most recent award on record closed on September 28, 2023. The combined potential value of all awards stands at $1.8 million, with $1.8 million obligated. The office transacts with a highly fragmented contractor base of 59 distinct primes over the portfolio history.

Contract competition is highly fragmented by both count and value. Over the last five years, the top two primes by award count — Federally Employed Women (1 award, $11 thousand) and BIF New York Inc. (1 award, $40 thousand) — collectively represent 100 percent of recent awards and only 3 percent of combined potential value. The remaining awards are distributed across a long tail of small transactional contractors.

The set-aside mix is heavily skewed toward open competition. Ninety-seven percent of awards (953 contracts) carry no set-aside designation, while 3 percent (29 awards) are designated Total Small Business.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Arizona State Office or its subordinate components. No active or upcoming solicitations are present in the source data. The sustained decline in award volume — from 84 awards in 2019 to single-digit annual counts by 2022 — and the absence of recorded opportunities suggest that contracting activity at this office has substantially contracted or shifted away from federal contract mechanisms toward direct loan and grant delivery channels that do not flow through the contract procurement pipeline.
