Sustainability Partners Brings Infrastructure as a Service® to State and Local Governments via Civic Marketplace

Public Benefit Company offering zero-upfront-capital infrastructure now available to eligible state, local, and education agencies through a pre-competed cooperative path

CHANDLER, Ariz., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sustainability Partners, a Public Benefit Company that funds, deploys, and maintains essential infrastructure for state and local government and the pioneer of Infrastructure as a Service®, announced today that its Metering as a Service offering is now accessible to eligible buyers through Civic Marketplace, the AI procurement platform for local governments. The agreement enables state, local, and education agencies to procure Sustainability Partners' Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution without running a separate competitive solicitation.

What Agencies Can Access

• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) through Metering as a Service, including ultrasonic smart meters, leak detection analytics, and billing system integration.
• Comprehensive maintenance, repair, and replacement support which covers end-to-end implementation, including system installation, staff training, and ongoing maintenance.
• Ancillary services, including software upgrades, training programs, customer engagement tools, and disaster recovery solutions.

"State and local governments often know which infrastructure improvements are critical, but getting those projects approved and procured can take significant time and resources," said Adam Cain, President of Sustainability Partners. "By making our Metering as a Service solution available through Civic Marketplace and the TXShare cooperative contract, eligible agencies can access a pre-competed procurement path that accelerates deployment while maintaining compliance. Combined with Infrastructure as a Service®, agencies can modernize critical water infrastructure through a predictable service model without assuming the long-term ownership and lifecycle burdens."

"The City of Jal's water department was having efficiency issues, read issues, and low-flow readings. Sustainability Partners was able to come up with solutions and help us address those challenges," said Wesley Hooper, City Manager of the City of Jal. "SP has been great to work with — any issues that come up, we can contact someone immediately, and they get right back to us. It's a great partnership."

Why This Matters

For most state and local agencies, the path from "we need to modernize this system" to "the system is in the ground and working" is dominated by significant capital constraints, lengthy procurement and delivery timelines, and lifecycle risk. Sustainability Partners' service-based model shifts those burdens to Sustainability Partners and gives the agency a predictable monthly cost instead. Making that model available on Civic Marketplace removes one more barrier — the procurement cycle itself — for the agencies that need it most.
