About the company
A Cooperative Association Northwest Communications Cooperative, doing business as N C C, is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit cooperative based in Ray, North Dakota, that operates as a sub-recipient on federal broadband and telecommunications grants rather than as a prime contractor. N C C has received three sub-award grants from the State of North Dakota for broadband service locations work, with the most recent award dated November 24, 2025, for CPF ExteND Broadband Service Locations, preceded by broadband service locations sub-awards in March 2024 and July 2023. The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and historically sparse: seven total awards across a twenty-two-year period, with only one award in each of 2012, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and combined potential value of $79 thousand against combined obligated dollars of $11.2 million — a posture indicating that grant dollar values are front-loaded at award time and drawn down over performance.
N C C's customer base reflects its regional broadband mission. The Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices account for three awards (86% coverage of recent volume), while the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service, the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6, and the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office Rural Business Cooperative Services each contribute one award. GSA carries the highest potential value ($48 thousand), though dollar magnitudes are immaterial relative to obligated funding.
As a cooperative structure, N C C's capability portfolio centers on telecommunications infrastructure and broadband service delivery. The vendor holds a 57% prime award share against a 43% sub-award share, though this split reflects a small absolute base rather than a material prime contracting footprint. N C C operates within telecommunications NAICS codes (Wired Telecommunications Carriers, Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing) and corresponding PSC codes, positioning it as a rural broadband provider serving federal grant programs rather than a systems integrator or managed services vendor.
