About the company
Upper Mississippi River Basin Association, doing business as UMRBA, is a woman-owned nonprofit based in Edina, Minnesota that serves as the regional collaborative for five member states (Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin) on Upper Mississippi River Basin environmental and water-resource issues. UMRBA operates as a federal grant recipient and prime contractor, delivering environmental program support, water quality planning, nutrient reduction strategy coordination, ecological restoration facilitation, and technical database management to the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
UMRBA's capability footprint centers on interstate water-quality coordination, ecosystem restoration program support, and environmental data management. Representative work includes a $955,942 firm fixed-price program-support contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Upper Mississippi River Restoration initiatives (awarded February 2023, option year 3 exercised, completion February 2028); a $750,000 sole-source definitive contract with EPA Region 5 for maintaining and updating the Regional Contingency Plan and Inland Sensitivity Atlas for Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota (awarded September 2023, completion September 2026, renewed September 2026 for $250,000 through September 2029); a $400,000 EPA Project Grant under the Non-State Member Support for the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan program (CFDA 66.487) to develop an integrated nutrient reduction strategy and adaptive management framework (awarded January 2024, completion December 2028); and a $6,120 U.S. Geological Survey purchase order for Boat Ramp Access Inventory technical assistance and Inland Sensitivity Atlas database maintenance (awarded September 2024, completion December 2026).
UMRBA's customer base is concentrated in two federal partners accounting for 84% of awards: EPA Region 5 (4 awards, $2.6 million combined potential value) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across headquarters and the Rock Island Engineering District (17 awards, $2.35 million combined potential value). The Department of the Interior USGS holds two awards valued at $6 thousand. Over the past five fiscal years, award volume has remained light and sporadic (one to three awards annually from 2022 through 2025), with two awards reaching completion in the next twenty-four months carrying combined potential value of $962 thousand.
UMRBA operates almost exclusively as a prime (94% of recent awards, 29 of 31 total), with limited subcontractor engagement; two grant sub-awards appear in the source (Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Department of Natural Resources as prime grantees with UMRBA as sub-recipient). SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold reached $240 thousand in FY2022 across 3.5 FTEs, with zero reported invoicing in subsequent fiscal years — a pattern consistent with UMRBA's portfolio shifting toward grant work and sole-source technical contracts that may fall below or outside SCI reporting scope. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran at $32.41 per hour across all reported percentiles.
