About the company
Skyline Telephone Membership Corp, a tax-exempt nonprofit cooperative based in West Jefferson, North Carolina, operates as a sub-recipient on federal disaster-recovery and pandemic-response grant programs, with no prime contracting footprint and a single named for-profit subsidiary, Skybest Communications Inc. The vendor's federal work is exclusively grant-funded, routed through state and territorial government entities rather than direct federal relationships.
Skyline's activity concentrates on emergency management and telecommunications infrastructure recovery. Six of seven tracked awards date to 2025, representing recent engagement with Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster-relief programs administered through the North Carolina Department of Public Safety and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. Representative work includes sub-awards for pandemic emergency protective measures (vaccines, medical sheltering, and community information dissemination) under a Tennessee FEMA sub-grant dated November 2025; disaster-recovery funding and management costs under North Carolina Department of Public Safety grants dating June through August 2025; and telecommunications infrastructure restoration — specifically central office and outside plant force-account activities and materials labor — under two separate September 2025 North Carolina sub-grants. The combined dollar value across all tracked awards stands at $22.7 million, with six of seven awards issued in 2025.
Customer concentration is narrow and state-driven. All seven awards flow through two funding sources: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (six awards, 100% of recent activity) and the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (one award), with actual distribution channeled through state emergency management offices rather than direct federal procurement. The vendor holds no seat on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs and competes in no federal contracting set-aside categories — its posture is entirely grant-recipient, not contractor.
The corporate structure includes Skybest Communications Inc., a for-profit subsidiary whose capabilities in telecommunications may extend beyond the grant-funded disaster-recovery work captured in the award record. The cooperative's telecommunications infrastructure expertise — evident in the central-office and outside-plant recovery work — positions it as a specialized asset for emergency communications restoration in rural areas, though the federal footprint does not reflect ongoing peacetime telecommunications service delivery to federal agencies.
