Under the five-year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, Tetra Tech will provide engineering and consulting services for enhancing access to clean water and sanitation.

It will strengthen worldwide food security via the sustainable management of water in agriculture.

The company will support in collecting and analyzing data to evaluate water issues, develop water management strategies, and design new approaches to enhance the delivery of water services in developing countries.

Tetra Tech chairman and CEO Dan Batrack said: "Tetra Tech is pleased to continue supporting USAID in providing innovative solutions to address critical water issues around the world."

Earlier this month, Tetra Tech won a five-year, $20m multiple-award contract from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC).

Tetra Tech will support testing, evaluation, and reporting to address chemical, biological, radiological and other contaminating agents.

The company will offer technical support services to develop tools and technologies that will detect and mitigate contaminants entering drinking water supplies, wastewater systems, and urban areas.

The tools could include methodologies to monitor water quality, technologies for treating wastewater generated in decontamination, and techniques to sample as well as analyze the presence of several contaminants.
