International Boundary and Water Commission's contract dollars, traced to the source.

International Boundary and Water Commission · Department of State

The International Boundary and Water Commission (U.S. Section) is the State Department agency that carries out the boundary and water treaties between the United States and Mexico — operating dams, flood-control levees, and international wastewater-treatment plants along the border. Its contract dollars, roughly $0.13B in FY2025 obligations, are almost entirely heavy-civil construction and water infrastructure: the largest awards fund rehabilitation and expansion of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant (PCL Construction; Veolia for operations), replacement of the American Canal's lower and upper reaches (Odin Environmental, Meridian Engineering), and levee repairs. This is a construction-and-water-operations book, not IT or services.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't

This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the International Boundary and Water Commission: U.S.-Mexico awarding sub-agency. It shows where IBWC's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. The U.S. Section of the IBWC operates on its own appropriation within the State Department; this contract feed captures its procurement obligations, not its total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of State monitor.
