About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service awarded a $130.0 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to the National Rural Water Association (NRWA) on May 1, 2026, for the Rural Water Circuit Rider Technical Assistance Program. This nationwide program will operate through December 31, 2030, and continues NRWA's existing mission to deliver expert technical assistance to eligible rural water systems across all 50 states at no cost to participating utilities. The contract supports NRWA's established network of circuit riders who provide one-on-one technical assistance in major support categories, helping small and rural water systems improve operational capabilities, achieve regulatory compliance, and enhance financial sustainability. The work will be performed from NRWA's location in Empire City, Oklahoma. This procurement was conducted as a full and open competitive solicitation with no set-aside designation.

NRWA, a non-profit organization registered in the System for Award Management since 2004, brings substantial experience to this engagement, having previously executed a similar $112.1 million contract for the Circuit Rider Technical Assistance Program that ran through October 2025. The organization's extensive state affiliate network positions it to deliver comprehensive support to water systems serving populations under 10,000, with particular focus on disadvantaged, tribal, and rural communities. Beyond this core contract, NRWA has received multiple federal grants from the Environmental Protection Agency and USDA Rural Utilities Service for water quality technical assistance, training, and capacity building initiatives that complement the circuit rider program's service delivery model.
