American Samoa Power Authority

American Samoa Power Authority, doing business as ASPA, is a territorial public utility providing electric, water, sewer, and solid waste services as a prime contractor and grant recipient to federal agencies serving installations and communities across American Samoa and Hawaii. ASPA operates as a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Pago Pago, American Samoa, competing without small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

ASPA's contract work centers on utility services to the Department of Defense. The vendor holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Army Pacific Command (IDC W912CN08D0006, valued at $1,981,935.59 through December 31, 2027) for electric, water, sewer, and solid waste services at military installations in Honolulu, Hawaii and American Samoa. Under this IDC, ASPA has issued annual firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $332,000 to $488,000, including a $374,190.15 award on January 1, 2026, for electricity, water, sewer, and refuse disposal utility services. Three additional Army-related IDCs (W912CN18D0003, W912CN23D0003, and DAHC7789D0003) account for eleven task orders with combined potential value of $6 million. The vendor's contract portfolio is concentrated in electric power distribution (27 awards) and water supply systems (5 awards), aligned with PSC 5110 (utilities—electric) and 5140 (utilities—water) classifications.

ASPA's federal customer base is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs, which accounts for 71 of 136 total awards (52% of award count) and represents the vast majority of grant funding. Army Pacific Command ranks second by count (15 awards) and first by contract potential value ($8.6 million), followed by Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 (13 awards) and EPA (8 awards). The concentration divergence is stark: Insular Affairs dominates award volume through grant-program funding, while DoD Army commands drive the contract dollar value.

ASPA's federal grant footprint spans multiple programs focused on territorial infrastructure development. EPA Region 9 has awarded $30.7 million under the Environmental Protection Consolidated Grants for Insular Areas (CFDA 66.600) for design and construction of water and wastewater infrastructure improvements, tank installation, waterline replacement, and wastewater treatment facility improvements (award date April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2033). ASPA also received a $29.7 million EPA formula grant (CFDA 66.600) dated January 1, 2024, for drinking water and clean water state revolving funds supporting drinking water and wastewater system rehabilitation and the Vaitogi wastewater collection system. A $30.7 million Bipartisan Infrastructure Law award from EPA (October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2027) funds tank replacement, waterline replacement, sewer lift station rehabilitation, SCADA system implementation, and wastewater treatment improvements. The Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service awarded two project grants totaling $3.28 million (March 6, 2025, through March 6, 2027) under CFDA 10.760 (Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities) for water infrastructure improvements in Pago Pago. The Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs (CFDA 15.875) has funded fleet electrification, smart metering infrastructure, lineman training and development, professional engineering degree completion, and capital improvement projects, with individual grants ranging from $275,000 to $7.5 million. EPA Region 9 has also awarded $400,000 (April 1, 2026) under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (CFDA 66.039) for fleet truck replacement and modernization. ASPA acts as prime recipient on all identified grants with no subawards designated.

Activity has declined from six awards in 2022 to three in 2026, with nine awards (combined potential value $374,000) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's combined obligated dollars ($326.2 million) far exceed combined potential value ($11.3 million) across the source dataset, indicating historical awards with substantial execution. ASPA competes full-and-open; all contract and grant awards carry no set-aside designations.
