Central Arizona Water Conservation District

Central Arizona Water Conservation District, doing business as Central Arizona Project (CAP), is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2000, located in Phoenix, Arizona. The organization appears to specialize in water resource management and infrastructure services, with a particular focus on providing infrastructure access and water conservation technologies. CAP has demonstrated its capability to serve federal agencies by offering specialized infrastructure support, such as antenna site rentals to federal law enforcement entities like the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

In terms of federal contract awards, Central Arizona Water Conservation District has consistently provided antenna site rental services to the DEA through annual purchase order contracts. These contracts, valued at $5,000 annually, have been awarded without any specific set-aside designations and provide the DEA with access to CAP's facilities and infrastructure in the Phoenix area to support law enforcement operations. The contracts have maintained a consistent pattern, with performance periods typically running from October 1 to September 30 of each year, indicating a stable and ongoing relationship with the federal agency.

Regarding federal grant awards, CAP has received funding from the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act's Research Agreements program to conduct innovative water conservation research. Specifically, their most recent grant (Award ID: R23AP00181) focuses on pilot testing and demonstrating gravity-driven micro-drip irrigation systems across lands owned by Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District, Colorado River Indian Tribes, and Welton Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District. The project aims to gather comprehensive data on water savings and crop productivity using new irrigation efficiency technologies, with the ultimate goal of informing future large-scale agricultural water conservation programs. The grant, valued at $2,715,998.16, supports detailed research and will produce a final report assessing crop yields in relation to water conservation strategies.
