Norris Public Power District

Norris Public Power District, a government entity operating as Administrative Office, serves federal agencies as a grant sub-recipient rather than as a prime contractor or commercial vendor. The entity is headquartered in Beatrice, Nebraska and operates as a U.S. State Government and Council of Governments body; it does not hold federal contract vehicles and has not been awarded federal contracts as a prime.

Norris Public Power District's federal footprint is entirely grant-based and subordinate. Across seven awards spanning 2006 to September 2026, the entity operates exclusively as a sub-recipient under grants originated by two agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards program accounts for five awards (71% of the entity's recent activity), focusing on utility pole replacement and management costs associated with disaster recovery and infrastructure repair. A single award from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service Rural Business Cooperative Services program rounds out the active set. The entity's most recent sub-awards from the Department of Military Nebraska — dated June 2026, July 2026, August 2026, and September 2026 — cover utility pole procurement and disaster-recovery management costs, with a 2022 award supporting Saline County power distribution repairs. Combined potential value across all seven awards registers at $2 thousand, though combined dollars obligated total $4.1 million, indicating that awarded potential values in the source data represent only a partial snapshot of actual obligation activity.

Norris Public Power District does not operate as a federal contractor and does not maintain seats on government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, or agency-specific BPAs. The entity's role in federal funding flows through state disaster-relief and rural-infrastructure grant programs where it functions as an implementing sub-recipient, not a commercial service provider or equipment supplier to federal agencies.
