The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office is a sub-agency within USDA Rural Development that administers federal contract and grant programs to support rural water, waste, housing, energy, and community infrastructure projects.

Competitive concentration among prime contractors is fragmented; the top five primes by award count hold 17 percent of recent awards and the top five by potential value hold 5 percent. Chickasaw Business Solutions LLC leads by count with 22 awards ($31.2 million), followed by Blake Willson Group LLC with 21 awards ($23.4 million). Steampunk Inc. ranks first by potential value at $42.2 million across 6 awards. The agency has awarded 809 distinct primes across the portfolio.

The most recent grant award records a date of July 30, 2027. Grants are structured almost entirely as Project Grants (100 percent); one Formula Grant appears in the portfolio.
