Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corp

Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corp (Joemc) is a non-profit electric cooperative serving rural, tri-state communities, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2002. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, the organization specializes in providing electric utility infrastructure services, with a primary focus on maintaining and optimizing regional energy systems. Joemc operates as a critical infrastructure provider, delivering essential electrical services to sparsely populated areas and demonstrating expertise in renewable energy integration, grid resilience, and emergency preparedness.

The organization has limited federal contract involvement, with a single sub-contract award noted from EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC for an electric utility trailer. This sub-contract award suggests Joemc's capacity to support broader infrastructure and utility equipment procurement efforts. While the current record does not indicate extensive direct federal contract work, the sub-contract relationship demonstrates the organization's ability to participate in collaborative federal procurement processes.

Joemc has been significantly active in federal grant awards, particularly in disaster recovery and renewable energy infrastructure development. The most substantial award is a $56,467,886 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience program, focusing on optimizing renewable energy access in rural areas. Multiple sub-grant awards from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety for disaster recovery further highlight Joemc's critical role in infrastructure restoration and emergency response. The organization's grant portfolio demonstrates a consistent commitment to enhancing regional electrical infrastructure, supporting community resilience, and integrating advanced grid technologies across its service territories.
