Office of the Chief Financial Officer

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of the Chief Financial Officer — Funding Office, a sub-agency office within the EPA, administers federal contracts and grants supporting the agency's financial operations and related institutional functions.

Contract activity at the EPA Office of the Chief Financial Officer — Funding Office centers on relocation services, administrative support, and acquisition consulting. The office has awarded 1,050 contracts since 2002 with a combined potential value of $479.8 million and $388.5 million in obligated dollars. Award volume has been steady: 58 awards in 2021, 67 in 2022, 67 in 2023, 88 in 2024, and 28 year-to-date in 2025. Recent activity (last five years) comprises 256 awards across 170 distinct prime contractors; 6 percent of recent awards carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders.

Capital Relocation Services L.L.C. and Reliance Relocation Services, Inc. dominate the recent competitive landscape, each holding 114 awards out of 256 awards in the last five years and accounting for 93 percent of recent award count. By potential value, the same two firms lead with $6 million and $5.6 million respectively, though this concentration represents only 4 percent of the combined potential value across all recent awards—a signal that the portfolio is highly fragmented by dollar value despite winner concentration by count. The remaining contractors form a long tail of firms with one to six awards each. Set-asides are minimal: 95 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with small-business awards (sole-source 8(a), competitive 8(a), and total small business combined) accounting for only 4 percent of the total.

Grant-making activity is sparse. The office has issued 6 federal grants totaling $3.1 million in obligated dollars since 2018. Award cadence is irregular—1 award in 2018, a gap, then 4 awards in 2024 and 1 in 2025. All six recipients are distinct entities; no recipient has received more than one award. Grant assistance is predominantly Cooperative Agreements (5 awards, 83 percent) with one Project Grant (17 percent). Top recipients by federal dollars include University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and Palmetto Futures, each obligating $500 thousand, collectively representing 80 percent of total grant dollars obligated.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the office.
