About the company
Four County Electric Membership Corporation, a tax-exempt non-profit electric cooperative headquartered in Burgaw, North Carolina, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants and holds a single prime contract for utility services, competing under full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations. The organization has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2009 and serves rural communities throughout North Carolina.
The cooperative's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Economic Development Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.854) administered through the Rural Housing Service. Of 27 total awards in the source data, 25 are REDLG project grants of $300,000 each, supporting rural economic development and job creation initiatives including feasibility studies, business start-up costs, and business incubator projects across two-to-three-year periods. Representative REDLG grants include a $300,000 award dated December 5, 2024 (completion December 5, 2026), a $300,000 award dated May 19, 2023 (completion May 19, 2025), and a $300,000 award dated February 25, 2022 (completion February 25, 2024). Four County Electric also received a $300,000 REDLG award dated March 4, 2025 (completion March 4, 2027). Outside the USDA grant portfolio, the cooperative holds a single $14,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Army, awarded November 1, 2025 (completion October 31, 2035), for electric utility services at Cape Fear Lock and Dam #1 and Cape Fear Lock and Dam #3 in Riegelwood, North Carolina. The cooperative has also received one award from the Department of the Interior National Park Service (1 award).
Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service accounts for 100% of the grant awards (25 of 27 total awards), while the Department of the Army contract and one National Park Service award constitute the remaining volume. Four awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity. The source notes that Four County Electric has received sub-awards from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety for disaster recovery efforts, extending its reach into state-level emergency management. Activity has been episodic — four awards in 2025, three in 2020, two in 2023 — rather than consistent annual volume. The cooperative's established track record in infrastructure development and community support positions it for continued USDA rural development funding and potential expansion of utility-services contracting with federal agencies managing water-navigation and other critical infrastructure.
