Department Of Environmental Quality

The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, Administrative Services Division, a U.S. state government entity headquartered in Oklahoma City, serves as a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards) that delivers environmental permitting, compliance monitoring, hazardous waste remediation, drinking water infrastructure financing, and air quality assessment services to federal agencies and carries out federal environmental programs across air quality, water systems, and hazardous waste domains.

The Administrative Services Division operates almost entirely through federal grants from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 and other federal agencies rather than federal contracts. Recent work spans environmental regulatory services, site remediation, drinking water system oversight, and climate mitigation planning. On the contract side, the Division holds small purchase orders from the Department of Defense's Joint Munitions Command for annual air quality and wastewater permit fees at McAlester, Oklahoma ammunition operations — contracts valued at $43,192.32 (awarded August 2025, completion July 2035) and ranging historically from approximately $10,000 to $24,000 for environmental compliance support at federal defense installations. The Division's primary federal activity, however, centers on grant work. Recent large grants include an $8.66 million Performance Partnership Grant (CFDA 66.605) awarded October 2025 by EPA Region 6 to operate continuing environmental programs in air quality, radon mitigation, hazardous waste management, public water system supervision, underground water source protection, lead-based paint compliance, and PFAS monitoring across Oklahoma. The Division also administers Drinking Water State Revolving Fund capitalization grants totaling $19.02 million (CFDA 66.468, awarded July 2025) and multiple infrastructure-investment-act-funded grants for emerging contaminant remediation, lead service line replacement, and PFAS treatment in small and disadvantaged communities. Large Superfund-related cooperative agreements include a $12 million award for remedial action at Tar Creek Operable Unit 4 (CFDA 66.802, January 2024) and multiple site characterization and management assistance awards for National Priorities List sites across Oklahoma.

Customer concentration centers on EPA Region 6, which funds the bulk of the Division's grant activity. The top five customers by award count — EPA Region 6 and EPA broadly accounting for 88% of awards combined with the Department of the Army's Joint Munitions Command — reflect the Division's dual role as both a state environmental regulator and a Superfund remediation partner. The Joint Munitions Command dominates dollar volume ($1.3 million in combined potential value), though the underlying contract values are small and recurring; EPA Region 6 dominates the grant portfolio with cooperative agreements and formula grants supporting state environmental program operations and hazardous waste site remediation. No SBA set-asides, minority ownership, or small-business designations apply; the Division competes as a state government entity in full-and-open federal grant and procurement processes. Recent activity has declined from a peak of 20 awards in 2022 to 4 awards year-to-date in 2026, though this reflects the consolidation of many small purchase orders into fewer, larger multi-year grants and cooperative agreements. Seventeen awards face completion within the next twenty-four months and will require new grant applications or continuation funding to sustain ongoing environmental protection operations.
