About the company
Water Education Foundation, a Sacramento, California–based nonprofit organization, delivers water education and outreach services to the Department of the Interior as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor on sole-source purchase orders, with no subcontract footprint and no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio. The Foundation operates under primary NAICS categories spanning Environment, Conservation and Wildlife Organizations (24 awards) and Educational Support Services (3 awards), with PSC codes concentrated in Other Environmental Services and Education/Training—Scientific/Management.
The Foundation's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of the Interior. The Bureau of Reclamation accounts for 27 awards ($1.2 million combined potential value) and represents 59% of the vendor's award count; the USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants and USGS main office together account for 6 awards; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Commerce) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Education (Interior) round out the federal customer set. This concentration reflects the Foundation's specialized expertise in water education and Colorado River outreach — capabilities that have qualified it repeatedly for sole-source determinations by Reclamation under FAR Sections 13 and 6.302-1.
Representative contract work includes five repeated sole-source purchase orders from the Bureau of Reclamation for Colorado River education services spanning 2022 through 2026: a $90,000 order (FY 2024) for online articles, conference proceedings, and river tours; a $90,000 order (FY 2025) for similar deliverables running through December 2025; and a $25,000 order (September 2026) for the Water Education Fund 2026 Water Tour in Boulder City, Nevada. Grant-side, the Foundation holds two active Cooperative Agreements: a $250,000 award from the Bureau of Reclamation (California Water Security and Environmental Enhancement program, CFDA 15.533) through June 2026, focused on Delta and water resources education including tours, layperson guidebooks, and website resources; and a USGS-funded California Project WET program award (CFDA grant G23AC00673) running through September 2027, supporting K–12 water science teacher training and workshops that reached over 104,000 students in California in 2024 alone.
Activity has remained flat — one to two awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — with only one award reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, generating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The Foundation's combined obligated dollars ($3.2 million) exceed its combined potential value ($1.6 million), reflecting the long tail of multiyear grant obligations on its books. The Foundation competes entirely full-and-open with no set-aside participation and operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards), with no subcontract engagement across its federal portfolio. Its capability footprint is tightly bounded to water education, outreach, and environmental science training delivered primarily to Interior's water-resource and geological science missions in California.
