Pennsylvania Section American Water Works Association

Pennsylvania Section American Water Works Association, a nonprofit organization based in Pennsylvania, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants focused on water resource management and infrastructure, with no prime contract or grant awardee experience. The organization has received six sub-grant awards totaling $450 thousand across all federal sources since 2020, entirely channeled through Pennvest as the prime grantee and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 as the customer agency.

Activity is flat and modest. The vendor has received one sub-grant award per year from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent award issued on July 1, 2025. All six awards carry identical government descriptions stating that the mission of PA AWWA is to provide solutions to effectively manage water, the world's most important resource — language consistent with technical assistance, training, or capacity-building work rather than infrastructure delivery or engineering services. The $450 thousand combined obligation across five years suggests small-dollar, recurring sub-awards tied to water management programming rather than capital infrastructure work. Customer concentration is absolute: all awards funnel through EPA Region 3, with no diversification to other federal agencies. The organization holds no seats on contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; every award arrives through Pennvest, indicating the organization operates in a tightly defined sub-recipient role without independent federal contracting authority or standing.
