Wisconsin State Office

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Wisconsin State Office is a sub-agency within USDA charged with administering rural housing programs and related infrastructure financing in Wisconsin. The office has issued 703 federal contract awards since 2012, though award volume has declined significantly in recent years: 39 awards in 2019, 1 in 2020, 6 in 2021, 2 in 2023, and 2 in 2024, with the most recent award closed in September 2024. Combined contract potential value stands at $1.1 million, fully obligated across 62 distinct prime contractors.

The contract portfolio is highly fragmented on both count and value metrics. Among the last five years of activity, Federal Prison Industries, Inc. and Management Concepts, Inc. each account for 2 awards, representing 100 percent of recorded recent awards by count and only 11 percent of combined potential value by dollar weight. The remaining 58 contractors absorbed the balance of awards and dollars across a dispersed competitive base.

Small-business set-asides dominate the portfolio structure: 55 percent of all awards carry a Total Small Business designation, while 44 percent are awarded without set-aside restrictions and 1 percent use Partial Small Business status.

No recent contract opportunities or grant activity is recorded against the agency or its descendant offices in the current data set.
