About the company
Woonasquatucket Valley Community Build, Inc., doing business as The Steel Yard, is a Rhode Island-based nonprofit organization that serves as a federal grant recipient, delivering workforce development, vocational training, and community-based metal arts manufacturing services to the Department of Labor, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The vendor operates primarily as a grant recipient (63% of recent awards) with subsidiary roles as a subrecipient on environmental remediation and community arts projects (37% of recent awards).
The Steel Yard's federal footprint remains modest but diversified across five agencies over the past two decades. The organization holds an active $300,000 three-year Project Grant from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (CFDA 17.289) under the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending program, running July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, supporting workforce development and community economic development initiatives in Rhode Island. The vendor also received a $1,000 project grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2023 to support an artist residency program. The Steel Yard serves as subrecipient on a March 2026 Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management grant agreement (ultimate completion date not specified in source) to manufacture custom metal art installations from recycled steel removed from a barge hull, leveraging the nonprofit's steel-working industrial arts capabilities and community partnerships for site-based public benefit work.
Combined obligated dollars across all eight awards total $1.1 million, with activity dispersed over time — one award per year in 2018, 2020, 2023, 2025, and 2026 — reflecting episodic rather than sustained federal volume. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
