District Of Columbia

District Of Columbia Accounts Receivable / Cost Accounting Division, doing business as Department Of Public Works, is a U.S. government entity and local government agency that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across transportation, highway, and infrastructure programs, with no federal contract prime or subcontract activity in the source data. The entity is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business but operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient rather than a federal contractor.

The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by formula grants from the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) and related transportation funding streams. Recent representative grant awards include $3.55 million and $6.45 million (both August 2026) from FHWA under the Highway Planning and Construction program for pavement restoration on National Highway System streets; $80 million (September 2025) for rehabilitation of the I-395 northbound bridge over the Potomac River; and $28.88 million (June 2026) for Benning Road bridges and transportation improvements construction. The vendor also received a single federal contract award — a $26,545.69 purchase order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (February 2025) for waste disposal services at SEC headquarters in Washington, DC, awarded on firm fixed-price terms through January 2030.

Customer concentration is extremely high. The Federal Highway Administration accounts for 3,669 of 3,789 awards (99% of the portfolio) with a combined potential value that dominates the overall funding pool. The Federal Transit Administration (30 awards), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (23 awards), Forest Service (20 awards), and National Park Service (10 awards) round out a narrow customer base. When measured by potential value, the National Park Service, Securities and Exchange Commission, and NASA represent meaningful outliers, though FHWA's aggregate value dwarfs all other customers.

Activity has declined year over year: 157 awards in 2022, 134 in 2024, 79 in 2025, and 26 awards as of August 2026. Seventy-five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The combined obligated amount across all awards ($6.76 billion) significantly exceeds the combined potential value ($241 thousand), indicating heavy drawdowns on mature grants from prior fiscal years.

The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient in its federal footprint. No subcontract relationships appear in the source data. The vendor's concrete federal work focuses on transportation infrastructure preservation and improvement: highway and bridge rehabilitation, pavement restoration, traffic signal maintenance, tunnel inspection and operations, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, stormwater drainage systems, traffic safety design, multimodal corridor improvements, and transit operations support. Work is performed citywide throughout Washington, D.C., with administrative oversight at Department of Public Works headquarters, 899 North Capitol Street NE, 5th Floor. The vendor's SBA small disadvantaged business certification does not activate set-asides in the grant context, as federal grants operate under different award mechanisms than set-aside contracts.
