Midwest Data Center, Inc.

Midwest Data Center, Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Rock Port, Missouri, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering broadband infrastructure deployment and digital-divide mitigation services in Iowa under subawards from the Iowa Department of Management. The vendor holds no prime federal contracts or grants in the source record and competes entirely as a subcontractor to state administering agencies receiving federal broadband funding.

Midwest Data Center's recent activity spans three subawards totaling $4.4 million obligated across two federal customer agencies. The Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) funds two subawards issued through the Iowa Department of Management, both executed in 2026 (June 5 and May 14), focused on broadband service deployment to eligible service locations within Iowa. A third subaward, dated February 15, 2024, also issued through the Iowa Department of Management, targeted broadband infrastructure reaching 100/100 megabits per second or faster, or 100/20 megabits per second or faster, in eligible service locations. The Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices funds the remaining subaward in the portfolio. All three subawards channel through the Iowa Department of Management as prime grantee, indicating Midwest Data Center's role is subordinate implementation — last-mile broadband build-out and infrastructure installation rather than program administration.

The vendor's footprint is nascent and geographically constrained. With one award in 2024 and two in 2026, activity is sparse and limited to Iowa broadband deployment. No teaming relationships, parent vehicles, or defense or civilian agency direct-prime work surfaces in the source. Midwest Data Center's operational scope is rural broadband infrastructure delivery within a single state, executed entirely as a federal grant subrecipient under NTIA broadband programs flowing through state administration.
