About the company
Lincoln Electric System, doing business as Les, is a locally owned municipal utility provider in Lincoln, Nebraska, that receives federal grant sub-awards as a recipient under FEMA and Nebraska Department of Military programs, with no federal prime contracting activity and a sub-recipient footprint concentrated in utility infrastructure and emergency management work.
Les is a U.S. local government entity — a city-owned utility — headquartered at 9445 Rokeby Road in Lincoln, Nebraska. The vendor does not hold federal prime contracts or IDVs and competes in no federal set-aside categories; federal engagement occurs entirely through grant sub-recipient relationships, primarily with FEMA and the Nebraska Department of Military. Recent sub-award work includes utility pole procurement and management costs under FEMA programs (June 2026 and August 2026 sub-awards) and cybersecurity capability enhancement (March 2025). The combined potential value across all federal awards in the source data is $55 thousand, but obligated dollars total $3.2 million, reflecting a heavily obligated portfolio where actual spending far exceeds published award ceilings — a signal that source data captures only ceiling or initial allocation amounts and does not track full grant execution.
Customer concentration is minimal and reflects the limited scope of federal sub-recipient activity. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards) accounts for five awards across the portfolio; the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard accounts for two awards with a combined potential value of $55 thousand. Together, these two grantor entities cover 88% of recent awards. Award activity is sparse and episodic: one award in 2012, one in 2013, then a five-year gap before resuming with a single award in 2025 and five awards in 2026, all clustered in recent months. The primary work categories are electric power distribution (NAICS) and maintenance of other utilities (PSC), consistent with Les's core mission as a municipal electric utility. Federal engagement does not anchor significant revenue or operational capacity; rather, federal grants appear to fund discrete infrastructure projects and cybersecurity initiatives at the municipal utility level, with Les serving as a sub-recipient executing funded work on behalf of state or federal grantees rather than as a federal contractor or prime grant recipient.
