About the company
Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, provides municipal water and wastewater services to federal agencies as a prime contractor and grant recipient, with no subcontract footprint and no participation in GWACs, IDIQs, or other parent contract vehicles. The Authority operates as New Mexico's largest water utility, serving over 670,000 people across the Greater Albuquerque metropolitan area, and competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio.
Recent federal contract work centers on utility services to federal facilities. The Bureau of Indian Education awarded a $1.2 million purchase order on January 16, 2025, for water utility service to Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI) through December 31, 2034, and a subsequent $48.8 thousand purchase order on December 10, 2025, for water, sewer, and refuse services supporting the Bureau's Albuquerque headquarters facility through December 31, 2033. Both purchase orders are firm fixed price with no set-asides. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 7 accounts for 10 awards worth $1.9 million in combined potential value, primarily for utility services at federal buildings in the Albuquerque region.
The Authority's federal grant footprint is substantially larger and more recent than its contract work. EPA Region 6 has awarded two Congressionally Mandated Projects cooperative agreements (CFDA 66.202) totaling $2.1 million: a $752.258 thousand award on February 1, 2026, for the Arroyo del Oso Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project—including planning, permitting, design, drilling, and installation of underground aquifer injection and recovery wells through April 30, 2028—and a $1.35 million award on October 1, 2025, for sewer collection system upgrades and septic system reduction through December 30, 2028. The Bureau of Reclamation awarded an $800 thousand WaterSMART project grant (CFDA 15.507) on September 18, 2024, for planning, design, and permitting of the same Arroyo del Oso ASR project (July 2024 to June 2027), and a $270 thousand project grant on April 29, 2024, for floodplain habitat reconnection and native revegetation along the Rio Grande near the Southside Wastewater Reclamation Plant through June 30, 2025. The Authority acts as sub-recipient on two additional federal grants: a New Mexico Environment Department sub-award for a wastewater reuse pipeline and conveyance project, and a New Mexico Finance Authority sub-award for water service line materials verification and research (May 24, 2024).
Customer concentration splits between contract and grant sources. The Bureau of Indian Education (4 awards, $2.2 million) and GSA Region 7 (10 awards, $1.9 million) dominate contract volume and dollar value, while EPA Region 6 and the Bureau of Reclamation together anchor the grant portfolio. The Authority has logged 32 total awards across both contract and grant mechanisms since 2006, with combined potential value of $4.8 million but combined obligations of $18.5 million, reflecting substantial prior-year funding and multi-year cooperative agreements. Activity is episodic — one award in 2026, three in 2025, four in 2024 — with only one award reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window.
