The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office, a civilian sub-agency within USDA, administers rural housing loan programs and related support services for the federal government. The Service has issued a minimal contract footprint, with four awards totaling $1.5 million in combined potential value since 2022.

Contract activity is sparse and recent. The Department awarded three contracts in 2022 and one in 2023, with the most recent award closed on August 24, 2023. No contract awards are recorded since that date. Combined dollars obligated stand at $837 thousand, representing 57 percent of combined potential value. The agency has engaged three distinct prime contractors across this portfolio.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with no single contractor dominating the award stream. Attainx Inc. holds the largest single contract at $1.1 million in potential value from one award. Chickasaw Business Solutions, LLC has won two awards totaling $243 thousand in combined potential value. Crystal City Lessee LLC accounts for one award valued at $126 thousand. All four awards are unset-aside, reflecting the small-dollar, specialized nature of the work.

The Rural Housing Service Washington Office does not maintain an active contract opportunity pipeline within the recorded data. No recent solicitations or upcoming contract opportunities are present in the source material. The minimal and infrequent award cadence, combined with the absence of current opportunities, suggests that contracting at this sub-agency operates on an as-needed basis rather than through regular competitive cycles. Organizations pursuing this work should monitor the agency directly for procurement announcements rather than relying on standing solicitation windows.
