Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement And Power District

Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) is a public power utility headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, providing electricity to over 1 million customers in central Arizona. Registered in SAM.gov since 2009, SRP is a corporate entity classified as a tax-exempt, not-for-profit organization that engages with federal agencies, particularly the Bureau of Reclamation, to provide electric utility services and participate in water resource management projects. As a parent organization, SRP has demonstrated significant capability in delivering complex infrastructure and resource management solutions to federal government agencies.

In terms of federal contract awards, SRP has secured a $500,000 definitive, firm fixed price contract with the Bureau of Reclamation for electric utility services, scheduled to complete by July 31, 2034. The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and represents a straightforward electric service provision arrangement. Additionally, SRP has received a $138,000 purchase order from the Veterans Health Administration, further illustrating its capacity to provide electric utility services across different federal agencies. These contract awards highlight SRP's role as a reliable utility service provider capable of meeting federal government infrastructure and energy needs.

Regarding federal grant awards, SRP has been involved in significant water resource management projects through cooperative agreements with the Bureau of Reclamation. A notable $154 million cooperative agreement focuses on designing and constructing the Salt River Project-Central Arizona Project (SRP-CAP) Interconnection Facility, which will improve regional water system redundancy and flexibility. Another grant, valued at $312,910, supported the development of a real-time reservoir operations model for the Salt and Verde Rivers, enabling enhanced hydrological event prediction and infrastructure management. These grants, funded under programs like the San Gabriel Basin Restoration program, demonstrate SRP's expertise in water resource engineering, infrastructure development, and collaborative research projects that address critical water management challenges in the southwestern United States.
