NRC Region 4

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region 4, a sub-agency of the independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission, administers federal contracts for the commission's regulatory oversight operations and facilities management across its regional jurisdiction. Region 4 has awarded 147 federal contracts since 2011, totaling $4.4 million in combined potential value, with $4.1 million obligated to date. Contract activity has declined sharply in recent years—15 awards in 2021, 4 in 2022, 4 in 2023, 1 in 2024, and 1 so far in 2025—reflecting a significant pullback from the higher historical cadence.

The contractor base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, Compu Dynamics LLC leads by award count with 3 awards totaling $337 thousand in potential value, followed by TD Industries Inc. and Centurytel Of Northwest Arkansas, LLC, each with 2 awards. These top five primes account for 43% of recent awards by count but only 14% of recent potential value by dollar amount, indicating that contract values are small and distributed across a long tail of vendors. Region 4 has engaged 65 distinct prime contractors cumulatively across the portfolio history. Nearly all awards carry no set-aside designation (99%); only 1 award out of 147 is set aside for small business.

The most recent award was recorded on September 16, 2025. No recent contract opportunities are currently open or pending in the source data. The contract portfolio shows consistent execution (93% of potential value obligated) and reflects Region 4's typical pattern of small-dollar, routine service and support purchases rather than major acquisitions. The sharp decline in annual award volume over the past three years signals reduced contracting activity at the region, suggesting either stable operational status or a shift toward multi-year or standing agreements with existing vendors. Organizations pursuing Region 4 work should monitor the agency for re-engagement signals, as the current activity level does not support active pursuit.
