About the company
Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative, Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit electric utility cooperative headquartered in Heppner, Oregon, operates as a sub-recipient on federal grant awards focused on electrical infrastructure and disaster recovery rather than as a prime contractor or federal services vendor. The cooperative has received eight federal awards spanning four decades (1981–2025), with three awards arriving in 2025 alone after a fourteen-year hiatus from federal funding.
Columbia Basin Electric's recent activity centers on electrical infrastructure resilience and rural distribution modernization. The cooperative served as a sub-recipient under the Oregon Department of Emergency Management for two disaster-recovery grants awarded in August 2025 addressing systemwide electrical damages and infrastructure damage ($815620 and $813879). Earlier in 2025, the cooperative received a sub-award from the Oregon Department of Energy for conversion to underground of approximately ten miles of rural overhead electrical distribution lines in three separate sections near the city of Condon. These awards reflect the cooperative's operational focus on electric power distribution (NAICS category) and miscellaneous electric power and distribution equipment (PSC code), with work governed under hydroelectric power generation and electrical repair and maintenance categories across the award portfolio.
Customer agencies span the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Energy, and the Department of the Army, with no single agency dominating the historical footprint. However, the combined obligated value across all eight awards totals $1.1 million against a nominal combined potential value of $7 thousand — a fifteen-thousand-fold obligated-to-potential ratio — indicating that the cooperative's recent 2025 sub-awards carry substantial undisclosed or negotiated funding amounts not captured in the source's potential-value field. The cooperative participates in one parent vehicle, an indefinite delivery contract (DACW6881C0017), though the structure of its grant sub-awards indicates primary engagement through state pass-through grants rather than federal procurement vehicles.
