About the company
Highwater Ethanol, LLC, a for-profit limited liability partnership based in Lamberton, Minnesota, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Biofuel Producer Program (CFDA 10.378). The vendor has no prime contract awards and operates exclusively in the federal grant space as a direct recipient of project grants rather than as a contractor or subcontractor.
Highwater Ethanol's federal footprint consists of three project grants, all from a single customer agency: the Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services, which accounts for 100% of the vendor's recent federal award activity. The largest award was an $8.185 million project grant issued May 5, 2022, with ultimate completion May 5, 2024, providing COVID relief funding to offset unexpected market losses experienced by the biofuel producer during the pandemic recovery period. A second award of $507,961 followed on May 26, 2023, also under the Biofuel Producer Program, running through May 26, 2025. The most recent award, issued January 22, 2026, is a project grant for production of advanced biofuel with ultimate completion March 5, 2026. Combined potential value across all three awards is approximately $8.7 million. The vendor operates as a prime recipient in all cases with no federal subcontracting activity. Activity is sparse — one award per year across 2022, 2023, and 2026 — reflecting the seasonal or cyclical nature of biofuel producer relief and production-support grant cycles rather than a sustained contracting footprint. Highwater Ethanol is not positioned on any federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, and does not compete in federal procurement competitions; the vendor's federal engagement is limited to eligibility-based grant awards channeled through USDA rural-development programs.
