Ohio Energy Project

Ohio Energy Project, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Worthington, Ohio, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, with no direct prime contract or IDV positions and 100% of its recent federal footprint (six awards, $1.2 million combined obligated dollars) flowing through the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families via the Ohio Department of Development as intermediary.

The vendor's entire federal portfolio consists of sub-awards under the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). Five sub-awards were issued on January 9, 2024, and one on January 19, 2023, all under HEAP annual formula allocations. No other federal grant programs appear in the source data. The vendor serves a single customer agency (HHS ACF) through a single pass-through vehicle (the Ohio Department of Development), which constrains recompete exposure and eliminates federal contract upside — the nonprofit's federal engagement is strictly formula-grant distribution to eligible households in Ohio. The organization has no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles, regional BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs, and no subcontracting relationships with federal prime contractors appear in the award record. Activity accelerated from one award in 2023 to five in 2024, but this reflects the annual cycle of HEAP formula grants rather than organic business-development momentum; future federal revenue depends on continued HHS ACF funding authorization and the vendor's continued designation as a sub-recipient by the Ohio Department of Development rather than on competitive procurement or task-order placement.
