About the company
Plumas Sierra Telecommunication, a child entity of Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Co-Operative, operates as a federal grant sub-recipient focused on broadband fiber-infrastructure deployment in rural Northern California, with a primary recent award from the Rural Utilities Service under the Broadband Reconnect Congressionally Directed Spending program. The organization is structured as a non-tax-exempt corporate entity and does not hold prime federal contracts; its federal footprint consists almost entirely of sub-grant awards (11 of 15 total awards, or 73%) routed through the State of California Department of Finance as the prime grantee.
Plumas Sierra Telecommunication's capability portfolio centers on last-mile and middle-mile fiber-optic network construction and deployment to unserved and underserved rural communities across Plumas, Lassen, and Sierra counties in California. Representative sub-grant work includes the Plumas-Sierra Telecommunications LaPorte-Greenhorn Broadband Project (awarded October 31, 2024, via California Department of Finance), the Truckee Project, the Mohawk Vista-C Road Broadband Project, the Janesville-Milford Broadband Project, the Loyalton-Sierra Brooks Broadband Project, the Doyle-Herlong Broadband Project, and the Calpine Broadband Project — all delivering up to one gigabit per second symmetrical fiber service. The organization leverages its parent company Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative's existing middle-mile fiber infrastructure and distribution assets to deploy these last-mile networks. A single prime grant award from the Rural Utilities Service (Broadband Reconnect Congressionally Directed Spending) is dated August 14, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 14, 2027.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices, which accounts for 11 of 15 awards (100% of source-tracked potential value), though dollar magnitude on these awards is minimal. The Rural Utilities Service, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Bureau of Reclamation, and United States Special Operations Command each account for one award. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $88.3 million against a stated combined potential value of $13 thousand, reflecting the source data's incomplete potential-value capture for grant work. Only one award is scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization does not compete on federal contract vehicles; all federal activity routes through grant programs, principally USDA Rural Utilities Service broadband infrastructure funding and congressionally directed spending administered through state intermediaries.
