About Northern Plains Electric Cooperative
Northern Plains Electric Cooperative, a North Dakota-based nonprofit electric utility, supplies electricity services to federal facilities and operates as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) under full-and-open competition with no small business set-asides. The cooperative is a tax-exempt corporate entity headquartered in Carrington, North Dakota, and has held a System for Award Management registration since 2003. Its capability footprint is narrowly focused on electricity distribution and utility service delivery, classified under NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution) and PSC code for Utilities–Electric.
The cooperative's federal customer base concentrates heavily on Department of the Interior bureaus. The top five customer offices account for 74% of recent awards by count: the Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region leads with 15 awards totaling $597 thousand in combined potential value, followed by the Bureau of Indian Education with 5 awards at $833 thousand, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Rocky Mountain Region with 3 awards at $537 thousand. By dollar value, the Bureau of Indian Education anchors 36% of the combined potential value across all awards. The cooperative also holds smaller positions with the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 8. Recent representative work includes a $104 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Bureau of Indian Education for electricity service in Belcourt, North Dakota, awarded February 1, 2026 and completing January 31, 2027; a $94.5 thousand order from the same bureau issued February 1, 2025; and a $76.8 thousand order from February 2024. All three are uncompeted purchase orders for utility service at the same federal facility location.
Activity has been sparse and episodic — one award each in 2020 and 2021, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — across a combined potential value of $2.3 million (with $2.6 million obligated year to date). Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The cooperative holds two federal grant sub-awards from the State of North Dakota, one in public utilities (August 2024) and one in management costs (October 2024), indicating limited federal grant exposure routed through state passthrough arrangements rather than direct federal grant relationships.
