Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity, with contract values ranging from $3,000 to over $66 million and performance periods spanning from months to five years. Frequently awarded entities include local government utilities (City of Leavenworth, City of Florence), tribal utility authorities (Navajo Tribal Utility Authority), and specialized water treatment companies (Evoqua Water Technologies, Liquitech). The Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and Department of the Interior are prominent funding agencies. Set-aside designations often include Total Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Indian Economic Enterprise categories. Performance locations are predominantly across U.S. states, with a focus on federal facilities like medical centers, correctional institutions, and national parks.
