About Kaapa Ethanol, LLC

Kaapa Ethanol, LLC is a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods based in Minden, Nebraska, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants for advanced biofuel production, with no federal contracting footprint. The vendor holds no federal contract vehicles or prime contracting awards; its entire federal footprint consists of project grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services (RBCS), awarded under the Rural Energy for America Program (CFDA 10.868).

Kaapa Ethanol's capability portfolio centers on advanced biofuel production and renewable energy systems. The vendor has received five REAP project grants since 2022, most recently a $1 million project grant awarded December 13, 2024, with ultimate completion dated December 13, 2026. Prior REAP awards include a grant issued April 2, 2024 (ultimate completion February 18, 2025), and grants from May 25, 2023, July 1, 2022, and January 22, 2026, all designated for advanced biofuel production. The December 2024 award specifically targets underutilized resource technology in renewable energy, aligning with REAP's rural energy efficiency and renewable systems objectives. All fifteen awards in the source data originate from USDA RBCS, representing one hundred percent customer concentration and one hundred percent prime-recipient posture.

Activity has been sporadic — one award per year in 2021, 2022, and 2023, accelerating to two awards in 2024 and one in 2026 year-to-date. The combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $1.1 million. One award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor operates as parent to two named subsidiaries: Kaapa Ethanol Ravenna, LLC and Kaapa Ethanol Holdings LLC, both also structured as for-profit limited liability companies. Kaapa Ethanol has no federal contract sub-award history and does not participate in federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; its federal footprint is confined to direct federal grant awards for advanced biofuel production capacity and energy efficiency improvements in rural settings.
