About the company
American Public Works Association (APWA), a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Kansas City, Missouri, operates as a prime contractor providing professional memberships and technical assistance program support to the Federal Highway Administration and other civilian federal agencies, with no subcontract footprint. APWA competes under full-and-open procurement—no set-aside designations appear across the award history—and operates exclusively as a prime, delivering membership services and professional development resources rather than goods or commodities.
APWA's federal customer base is highly concentrated. The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration accounts for 29 of 31 awards represented in recent data (69% of award count, $250 thousand in combined potential value), with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers each appearing once. The concentration is even more pronounced on a potential-value basis: FHWA's $250 thousand in ceiling value dominates the vendor's federal footprint. APWA's recurring work centers on Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) memberships, which provide technical resources, networking, and professional development for local government transportation infrastructure professionals. Recent awards include a $17,815 firm fixed-price purchase order from FHWA covering LTAP Center memberships through May 31, 2026 (awarded June 1, 2025); a $17,295 purchase order for LTAP membership from September 5, 2024 (completion September 4, 2025); a $20,437 one-year LTAP membership renewal from June 23, 2023; and a $19,750 annual membership renewal from June 1, 2022. These purchase orders represent an annualized pattern—APWA has received similar orders from FHWA consistently over the past several years, with individual contract values ranging from $17,295 to $20,437.
Activity remains steady at one award per year over the past five years. The total combined potential value across all 45 awards in the source is $395 thousand, though combined obligated dollars total $3.1 million, indicating that many awards have been invoiced and closed. APWA's primary NAICS alignment is Professional Organizations (15 awards), with secondary activity in All Other Support Services and Professional and Management Development Training. The vendor's PSC profile skews toward Education/Training—Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees (27 awards), reinforcing its role as a membership and professional development organization rather than a service provider or consulting firm.
