Purchase Order 191BWC26P0042

The International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC), U.S.-Mexico awarded a $10,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) on October 1, 2025, for ADEQ permit renewal services. The contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, extends through September 30, 2026, and will be performed in Rio Rico, Arizona. ADEQ, as Arizona's primary state environmental regulatory agency, provides essential environmental permitting and regulatory compliance services to federal agencies operating within the state, including permit applications, renewals, and associated registration and licensing fees.

This purchase order is consistent with the IBWC's established pattern of contracting with ADEQ for environmental permit administration and compliance support. The IBWC has previously awarded ADEQ multiple purchase orders for permit application renewal fees, annual registration fees, and required permits for field offices, with ceiling values ranging from $20,000 to $73,000. As a state government entity with specialized authority to issue required environmental permits for federal operations in Arizona, ADEQ serves as the sole authorized provider of these critical compliance services, ensuring that federal agencies meet state and federal environmental regulatory requirements.
