About the company
Hydropower Research Institute, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Wenatchee, Washington, provides hydropower research, water resource management, and membership-based data collaboration services to federal water and energy agencies as a prime contractor operating exclusively full-and-open, with no set-aside designations across its recent award footprint.
HRI's federal customer base centers on water infrastructure and dam operations agencies. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation represents the largest customer by potential value with three awards worth $1.5 million combined, while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers accounts for four awards worth $780 thousand, with the Engineering District Mobile accounting for two additional awards worth $350 thousand. These three customer organizations represent 100% of HRI's recent award activity. The revenue concentration reflects HRI's role as a specialized research and data services provider rather than a broad-based contractor — each award is a membership renewal or data collaboration contract with water resource or hydropower focus.
HRI's recent work consists entirely of membership renewals and data collaboration services. A $100,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation, awarded February 3, 2026 and running through December 31, 2026, renews HRI's membership and specialized hydropower research capabilities. Prior awards include a $200,000 USACE purchase order for annual membership and data collaboration services (completion date May 31, 2024), a $200,000 USACE membership renewal from May 2023, and a $200,000 USACE contract awarded May 2022. Historical awards to HRI have ranged from $180,000 to $1.062 million for similar membership and research collaboration services supporting water infrastructure and renewable energy initiatives.
Activity is sparse and episodic. Nine total awards span from August 2015 through February 2026, with a pattern of one award per year or less in recent years (2021: 2 awards; 2022–2024: 1 award per year; 2026: 1 award). Combined potential value across all nine awards is $2.6 million, fully obligated. One award faces completion within the next twenty-four months (the Bureau of Reclamation contract, $100,000). SCI-reportable invoicing shows $200,000 in FY2022 across 0.2 FTEs and zero invoicing thereafter, reflecting HRI's small federal services footprint and the sporadic nature of renewal contracts. HRI operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor relationships and delivers all work directly as the organization itself, with no named subcontractors in the source data.
