25/26 Grant Award - Research

The California Department of Food & Agriculture has awarded a non-IT services contract to the San Diego Regional Irrigation Lands Group for a research grant program. The contract, valued at $190,339.00, spans a three-year period from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028. The grant is structured across four fiscal year allocations for research activities, with annual amounts ranging from $32,300 to $63,657.

The contract comprises four distinct line items, each representing a research grant for a specific fiscal year (25/26, 26/27, 27/28, and 28/29). Each line item is quantified as a single unit with varying unit prices, indicating a phased research approach. The prime contractor, San Diego Regional Irrigation Lands Group, will deliver research services to the California state government, with the Department of Food & Agriculture serving as the contracting organization. The grant appears to support ongoing research initiatives, likely related to irrigation lands or agricultural practices within the state.
