About the company
Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Co-Operative, a tax-exempt non-profit rural electric cooperative headquartered in Portola, California, delivers electrical utility services and operations-and-maintenance support for on-site power systems to federal facilities as a prime contractor under full-and-open, non-set-aside awards. The cooperative competes exclusively in utility and infrastructure categories with no SBA designations; all 52 recent awards are prime contracts carrying combined potential value of $89.1 million, with $88.6 million obligated (99% execution rate).
Customer concentration is stark and geographically cohesive. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Herlong accounts for 46 awards (55% of total count) with $33.9 million combined potential value, while the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command anchors the dollar ranking with 4 awards totaling $53.7 million combined potential value — together these two customers represent 100% of the award portfolio. Both facilities are located in the Herlong, California region where Plumas-Sierra operates as the local electric utility. The remaining customer agencies (Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office, Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region) each carry minimal award counts and dollars.
Plumas-Sierra's capability portfolio centers on electric utility service delivery and facility power infrastructure. The two largest awards are both October 2025 and January 2026 definitive contracts with TACOM: a $20.4 million firm fixed-price contract (one base year, four option years, ultimate completion March 31, 2031) for electricity utility services to Sierra Army Depot in Herlong, and a $1.302 million time-and-materials contract (one base year, two option years, ultimate completion January 25, 2029) for operations and maintenance of the electrical system and solar panel array at the same facility. Monthly recurring purchase orders from the Federal Correctional Institution Herlong represent the remainder of the portfolio — forty-six individual monthly or bi-monthly purchase orders ranging from roughly $100 thousand to $150 thousand per order, covering electric service from 2022 through mid-2023, plus a prior $4.73 million purchase order covering October 2020 through September 2021.
Activity shows sporadic prime award velocity with no clear growth trajectory: two awards in 2021, thirteen in 2022 (driven by monthly FCH billing cycles), seven in 2023, and isolated awards in 2025 and 2026. The two large TACOM definitive contracts (combined $21.7 million, ultimate completion through March 2031) represent the forward pipeline; no other awards extend beyond mid-2023. Plumas-Sierra operates a named subsidiary, Plumas Sierra Telecommunications, a non-profit organization that does not appear in the federal award footprint shown. The cooperative has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2003 and operates exclusively within California's Sierra Nevada region, serving federal facilities that are also part of its regulated utility service territory.
