Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), a local government-owned electric utility serving Sacramento County, California, is a registered U.S. government entity that provides comprehensive electrical and infrastructure services to federal agencies. Headquartered in Sacramento, SMUD has been registered in SAM.gov since April 22, 2002, with its current registration valid through December 4, 2025. As a municipality-owned utility, SMUD has established itself as a critical infrastructure partner for various federal agencies, specializing in electrical utility services, fiber optic infrastructure, and advanced grid technologies.

Through federal contract awards, SMUD has consistently provided specialized services to multiple federal agencies. The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) awarded SMUD a significant 10-year, $19,620,565.00 definitive contract for electrical utility services supporting microelectronics research at McClellan Park. The Bureau of Reclamation has been a primary contracting partner, awarding SMUD multiple purchase orders and definitive contracts for electrical services, fiber optic infrastructure, tower and vault leases, and electrical equipment. The Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Procurement Services also contracted SMUD for utility services.
