About this agency
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a sub-agency of the Department of the Interior, is the civilian federal science agency that funds earth and natural resource research through contracts and grants, with a portfolio spanning geospatial mapping, water quality and hydrology, geological hazards, climate adaptation, and invasive species management.
USGS has obligated $8.58 billion across 67,035 federal contract awards since 1979, with a combined award potential value of $7.93 billion. Recent contract activity shows 1,932 awards in 2023, 1,823 in 2024, 1,303 in 2025, 1,578 in 2026, and 2 recorded award dates in 2027. Contract competition is highly fragmented, with the top five primes by award count holding 10 percent of recent awards: Countertrade Products, Inc. (331 awards, $51.3 million), Akima Systems Engineering LLC (217 awards, $15.9 million), Nationwide IT Services Inc. (152 awards, $95.1 million), NV5 Geospatial, Inc. (109 awards, $164.5 million), and KBR Wyle Services, LLC (103 awards, $270.6 million). By potential value, the top five hold 9 percent: KBR Wyle Services (103 awards, $270.6 million), NV5 Geospatial (109 awards, $164.5 million), Woolpert, Inc. (50 awards, $118 million), Nationwide IT Services (152 awards, $95.1 million), and Dewberry Engineers Inc. (46 awards, $89.2 million). Three-quarters of awards carry no set-aside designation; about 21 percent are small-business set-asides, with 8(a) sole source and competitive 8(a) each accounting for 1–2 percent.
Recent contract opportunities span geospatial data acquisition through the Broad Agency Announcement for 3D Elevation and Hydrography Mapping (Solicitation DOIDSAM27G002, due December 4, 2026); laboratory and analytical services including metagenomics and transcriptomic work (140G0226Q0145, small-business set-aside, due October 28), virus isolation and PCR analysis via blanket purchase agreement (140G0226Q0186, up to $300,000 for four years, due October 9), and HPLC validation services (140G0226Q0113, due September 21); equipment procurement for scientific instruments including noble gas mass spectrometers, 3D laser scanners, multibeam echosounders, and robotic total stations; and construction work such as EROS Center chilled water piping replacement (140G0126Q0288, small-business set-aside, due November 4, 2026).
USGS has obligated $3.09 billion in federal grant funds across 14,919 awards since 1995, with combined federal and non-federal dollars totaling $3.56 billion. Grant activity recorded 538 awards in 2022, 602 in 2023, 586 in 2024, 370 in 2025, and 40 so far in 2026. Grant recipients are fragmented, with the top five by award count holding 13 percent of recent awards: University of Arizona (72 awards, $17.6 million), University of Washington (55 awards, $23 million), Regents of the University of Minnesota (53 awards, $13.5 million), University of Oklahoma (48 awards, $10.3 million), and North Carolina State University (46 awards, $12.4 million). By federal dollars, the top five hold 11 percent: Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (22 awards, $243.8 million), University of Alaska Fairbanks (39 awards, $36.5 million), University of Washington (55 awards, $23 million), University of Arizona (72 awards, $17.6 million), and University of Illinois (40 awards, $16 million). Cooperative Agreements dominate the assistance mix at 71 percent of awards, with Project Grants comprising 28 percent and Formula and Block Grants together under 1 percent.
Recent grant opportunities center on the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) program, which funds ecological and environmental research through partnerships with universities and research organizations regionally. Active CESU solicitations include work on aquatic contaminants and insectivorous bird risk (G27AS00042, Rocky Mountain CESU, due November 14), sensor development for PFAS measurement in complex water matrices (G27AS00052, Northern Great Plains CESU, due November 14), cisco restoration in Great Lakes (G27AS00049, Great Lakes-Northern Forest CESU, due November 14), invasive horticultural species risk assessment in Hawaii (G27AS00073, Hawaii-Pacific Islands CESU, due November 14), and freshwater invasive fish modeling for the Pacific Northwest (G27AS00074, Pacific Northwest CESU, due November 14). The Water Resources Research Act Program (G27AS00164) solicits competitive grants from state-based Water Resources Research Institutes nationwide, with a due date of November 12, 2026, and restricts eligibility to designated Institutes at universities in all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories.
