Autoridad De Acueductos Y Alcantarillados De PR

Autoridad De Acueductos Y Alcantarillados De PR, operating as Cuentas De Gobierno (SR Aguayo), is a Puerto Rico government entity and child division of PR Aqued & Sewer Authority that provides water distribution and wastewater collection services to federal facilities in Puerto Rico, operating as a prime recipient on federal grant awards and as a prime contractor on utility service contracts. The vendor is not an SBA-certified small business and does not hold a federal contract vehicle.

The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by USDA Rural Utilities Service grant awards under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) and the Emergency Community Water Assistance Grants program (CFDA 10.763), which collectively account for the majority of its 135 prime awards (73% of the 184-award portfolio). In the past several years, USDA Rural Utilities Service has awarded the vendor $8.897 million on September 29, 2025, through the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program for water and waste infrastructure improvements serving rural communities in Puerto Rico, with performance through September 29, 2027. The vendor received multiple Emergency Community Water Assistance Grants in 2023 and 2024 ranging from $150 thousand to $847 thousand to support temporary water distribution services, infrastructure repairs, and water quality monitoring for rural Puerto Rico communities following emergency events. Additionally, the vendor received two USDA Rural Utilities Service Project Grants in April 2022 totaling $3.8 million for hurricane-related water and wastewater infrastructure projects in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

On the contract side, the vendor supplies water and wastewater utility services to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with six purchase orders between October 2022 and May 2023 totaling approximately $1.86 million for monthly utility services. The vendor also held a broader Bureau of Prisons contract covering water and wastewater services from January 2022 through January 2023 valued at $191,864 for service months through September 2022.

Customer concentration sits heavily with USDA Rural Utilities Service (68 awards) and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 (28 awards), which together account for 75% of recent awards. By dollar value, the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons facilities dominate, with the Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo account representing $16.6 million in combined potential value and the Field Acquisition Office representing $5.3 million. The vendor serves 16 distinct customer agencies across the portfolio.

The vendor's work is concentrated in water supply and irrigation systems (50 awards) and wastewater-related services under NAICS categories aligned with public water and sewer infrastructure. It operates without set-aside designations and competes on a full-and-open basis. As a sub-recipient on federal grants, the vendor has received multiple pass-through awards from the Puerto Rico Department of Health, the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, and the Governor's Authorized Representative for drinking water system compliance projects, lead service line replacements, and infrastructure improvements funded through State Revolving Fund programs and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law initiatives, with sub-award activity ranging from 2021 through September 2026. The vendor's combined potential value across all 184 awards is $33.2 million, though it carries $6.53 billion in obligated dollars—a reflection of the extremely high volume of small monthly utility purchase orders for facility operations. Only six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $701 thousand), presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.
