Southwest Water Design, L.L.C.

Southwest Water Design, L.L.C., doing business as Southwest Water Design LLC, is a small business engineering and surveying firm based in Albuquerque, New Mexico that provides hydrographic data collection, water resource modeling, and civil works design services exclusively as a prime contractor to the federal government under Total Small Business set-asides and unrestricted full-and-open vehicles. The firm operates 100% as a prime across its federal portfolio (62 total awards) with no subcontract revenue, competing predominantly through the Bureau of Reclamation's Hydrographic Data Collection IDIQ and the Army Corps of Engineers' indefinite delivery contracts in the southwestern region.

Customer concentration is narrow and highly stable. The Bureau of Reclamation dominates the portfolio by both count and dollar value—28 awards carrying $54 million combined potential value—followed by the Army Corps of Engineers (9 awards, $40.4 million combined potential value) and the Corps' Engineering District Albuquerque (25 awards, $7.5 million combined potential value). The split between the two Army entities reflects organizational reporting: the District Albuquerque field office issues task orders under the same Corps parent vehicles. Together, Reclamation and the Corps account for 100% of recent awards. Southwest Water Design's work centers on bathymetric and topographic field survey work, operations monitoring, water control manual updates, and water operations modeling support, all anchored to the Middle Rio Grande corridor and Upper Colorado Basin region.

The vendor holds two primary parent vehicles. The Hydrographic Data Collection IDIQ with the Bureau of Reclamation supports 23 task orders carrying $4.2 million combined potential value and is set-aside for Total Small Business through January 2031. Southwest Water Design was awarded a new $24 million Total Small Business IDIQ with Reclamation on January 16, 2026, covering hydrographic surveying and engineering services in the Upper Colorado River Basin region through January 2031. The Army Corps of Engineers' Indefinite Delivery Contract W912PP09D0010 has generated 23 task orders carrying $1.2 million combined potential value and supports water resource management, civil works design, and technical coordination across southern Colorado, New Mexico, and southwest Texas; this vehicle was awarded in August 2020 with a $40 million ceiling. Recent representative task orders include a $293,969 delivery order from the Corps in August 2025 for Upper Rio Grande Water Operations Model planning updates and design changes, a $133,141 Total Small Business delivery order from Reclamation in September 2026 for hydrographic and as-built survey work on MRG RM 199, and a $180,028 Reclamation delivery order in February 2025 for hydrographic data collection along the Middle Rio Grande from Otowi Bridge to Velarde.

Activity has been uneven—three awards in 2022, five in 2023, one in 2024, and three in both 2025 and 2026—with only two awards (combined potential value $468,000) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Combined potential value across the full portfolio stands at $101.9 million, though obligated dollars total only $6.3 million (6% of potential value), reflecting the preponderance of delivery orders against multi-year IDIQs with long performance windows extending into 2029 and beyond. The vendor's capability classification spans engineering services (47 awards) and surveying and mapping services (15 awards) under NAICS 541360 (surveying and mapping services except geophysical) and related codes, with primary work under PSC codes for architect-engineer and land survey services.
