Lake County Utility

Lake County Utility, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Tiptonville, Tennessee, acts as a sub-recipient on federal disaster-assistance grants issued through the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. The vendor holds no federal contracts or contract vehicles and does not operate as a prime contractor; all federal activity consists of grant sub-awards flowing from state-level pass-through arrangements.

Lake County Utility received sixteen sub-grant awards on December 21, 2021, all under FEMA Public Assistance program 4637 (PA 4637), with combined dollars obligated of $1.8 million. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency served as the prime grantee, channeling FEMA disaster funds to the utility for recovery and infrastructure work. No additional awards appear in the source data after the December 2021 tranche, placing the vendor's measurable federal activity at a single point in time now more than four years in the past. All awards derive from a single grantor agency (FEMA, via the state pass-through structure) and a single federal grant program.

Because Lake County Utility is a municipal utility rather than a for-profit contractor, it does not hold SBA set-aside certifications, does not compete in federal contract vehicles, and does not sub under prime contractors on commercial or defense work. The entity's federal footprint is narrowly confined to its role as a local recipient of disaster-assistance grants under the Stafford Act. No contract vehicles, teaming relationships, or recurring customer relationships outside the 2021 FEMA sub-awards appear in the record.
