The Gloucester County Utilities Authority

Gloucester County Utilities Authority, a New Jersey county government entity, functions exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient rather than a prime contractor, receiving $10.8 million in combined sub-award obligations across four federal grants awarded in June 2025. All four sub-awards flow through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as the prime grantee and address combined heat and power projects under EPA Region 2 funding.

The Authority operates in a single-customer posture concentrated entirely with the Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 (100% of recent awards). This narrow customer concentration reflects the Authority's limited federal footprint as a local government utilities operator; the four sub-awards issued on the same date indicate a coordinated grant deployment rather than diversified procurement relationships. The Authority holds no prime federal contracts, no seats on government-wide vehicles, and no independent contracting authority — all federal funding flows as sub-awards under state-level prime recipients.

The Authority's federal role centers on combined heat and power infrastructure development, as specified in the sub-award descriptions. All four sub-awards issued in June 2025 list "Combined Heat & Power" as the project descriptor, with one sub-award adding a broader goal statement to "achieve the goals of the grant as outlined in the project narrative." The June 2025 award date cluster and identical prime grantee (NJDEP) suggest these sub-awards represent tranches of a single EPA Region 2 grant program rather than separate procurement actions.

Activity is limited to the single award year present in the source data (2025: four sub-awards). No recompete exposure, pipeline, or multi-year contract vehicle positions are present. The Authority's federal posture remains that of a local government utilities operator performing narrowly scoped, EPA-funded environmental infrastructure work under New Jersey state administration.
