UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN ASSOCIATION

The Upper Mississippi River Basin Association specializes in the administration of air, water, and solid waste management programs, with demonstrated expertise in environmental planning, regulatory compliance, and geographic data management. Their technical focus includes the maintenance and updating of regional contingency plans, inland sensitivity atlases, and watershed restoration initiatives, leveraging surveying and mapping services to support environmental decision-making. The organization brings deep institutional knowledge of federal environmental frameworks, particularly in integrating hydrologic data, ecological sensitivity mapping, and emergency response planning for complex river basin systems. Their capability is distinguished by a systems-level approach to resource management, combining field-based data collection with policy-aligned program administration to ensure regulatory alignment and long-term ecological resilience. The contractor has established consistent relationships with the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, delivering mission-critical support for environmental compliance and infrastructure stewardship. For the DoD, they provide program administration services tied to river restoration and fund closeout activities, ensuring adherence to federal environmental mandates on military lands. With the EPA, they execute technical planning for regional spill response frameworks, directly supporting the National Contingency Plan through detailed geographic information systems and sensitivity mapping for waterways in the Upper Midwest. Their primary industry focus is on NAICS 924110, which encompasses the oversight and coordination of federal environmental programs, alongside NAICS 541370 for non-geophysical surveying and mapping—specifically applied to environmental asset documentation and spatial planning. This positions them as a niche provider of integrated environmental governance services, bridging technical mapping with regulatory program execution in watershed management. As a non-profit association based in Edina, Minnesota, the Upper Mississippi River Basin Association operates as a ZZ entity with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic presence is centered in the Upper Mississippi River region, where they serve as a trusted local partner for federal environmental programs, leveraging regional expertise to support national compliance objectives.
