Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation

Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation, doing business as Cumberland Electric Membership Corp, is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal contract and grant awards since August 9, 2001. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, Cumberland Electric primarily provides electrical and communication services to federal agencies. The company's expertise lies in the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical infrastructure, including transformers, power lines, and fiber optic networks. Cumberland Electric has demonstrated its capability to serve various government needs through several federal contract awards in recent years, as well as participating in federal grant sub-awards.

In terms of federal contract awards, Cumberland Electric has provided a range of services to different agencies. In March 2024, the company was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order worth $23,516.61 by the Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region for the installation of a 3-phase transformer in Dover, Tennessee, as part of the FODO VC INSTALLATION project. In June 2020, Cumberland Electric received a definitive contract from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 for communication services, with a ceiling value of $64,950. A more substantial contract was awarded in November 2019 by the same agency for CECM South Pole Repair, Power Line and Fiber work. This sole-source definitive contract, valued at $364,800, involved upgrading existing equipment owned and maintained by Cumberland Electric in the Land Between the Lakes area. Notably, none of these contracts had set-aside designations, indicating the company's ability to compete in open bidding processes.

Regarding federal grant sub-awards, Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation has participated in at least one such program. The company received a sub-award under the federal grant ID 4471DRTNP00000001PA4471HRN4MKPY1548, described as "PA 4471." The prime grantee for this award was the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. While specific details about the nature of work performed under this sub-award are not provided, it likely relates to emergency management or disaster recovery efforts, given the involvement of the state's emergency management agency. This sub-award demonstrates Cumberland Electric's capacity to collaborate with state-level agencies in federally funded projects, potentially leveraging its expertise in electrical infrastructure to support emergency response or recovery operations. The company's participation in both federal contracts and grant sub-awards showcases its versatility in serving government needs across different funding mechanisms.
