About this agency
The Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) is a civilian sub-agency within the Department of Energy that procures and contracts for electric transmission and power delivery infrastructure, equipment, maintenance, and technical services across its regional operations serving the western United States.
WAPA has awarded 14,793 federal contracts since 2001, with a combined potential value of $3.37 billion and $2.33 billion obligated (69% of potential value). Award volume has averaged 518 to 609 awards annually over the past five years, with 575 awards in 2023, 609 in 2024, 495 in 2025, and 413 in 2026, plus one recorded award dated in 2027. Among prime contractors in recent activity, competitive concentration is highly fragmented: the top five awardees by count hold 15 percent of recent awards. Advanced Computer Concepts, Inc. leads by award count with 90 awards across the last five years; Civil Design & Engineering Inc. ranks first by combined potential value at $33.8 million across 83 awards. Other recent frequent awardees include Vegetation Management West, L.P. (86 awards, $12.1 million), G & RK Consulting Associates LLC (83 awards, $24.5 million), and Federal Contracts LLC (70 awards, $25 million). WAPA transacts through 2,767 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history.
Set-asides are mixed but skew toward unrestricted competition: 55 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, 36 percent are Small Business set-asides, 5 percent are 8(a) Sole Source, and 1 percent each are Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Competitive 8(a). HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, and other socioeconomic designations represent a fractional share.
Recent contract opportunities span transmission infrastructure, equipment procurement, and facility maintenance. A Small Business set-aside solicitation for power system generator and transfer switch replacement (closing September 4, 2026) includes multiple amendments addressing labor rates and industry questions. Small Business set-asides also cover conductor and line hardware supply (August 18, 2026), backup generator maintenance (August 26, 2026), communication tower inspection services as an IDIQ (August 25, 2026), and repeater roof flashing and roofing replacement in South Dakota and Nebraska (August 6–21, 2026). Unrestricted opportunities include onsite calibration of test and measurement equipment (September 8, 2026) and line hardware procurement (August 25, 2026). A sole-source special notice for Mitel software assurance renewal (closed October 7, 2026) was posted to Pacific Office Automation.
