About Tri-County Electric Membership Corp
Tri-County Electric Membership Corp, doing business as Tri County E M C, is a non-profit electric utility cooperative headquartered in Gray, Georgia, that acts as a pass-through intermediary recipient for federal rural economic development grants administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services (RBCS). The vendor is 100% prime recipient (not a subrecipient) and has not held prime or subcontractor positions on federal contracts; all six recent federal awards are project grants under the Rural Economic Development Loans and Grants (REDLG) program (CFDA 10.854).
Tri-County EMC's federal footprint is singular and concentrated: all six awards over the past two and a half years derive from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services, with no other customer agencies represented. The organization functions as an intermediary utility organization distributing zero-interest grant capital to eligible rural businesses and development projects within its service territory in North Carolina, supporting project feasibility studies, business start-up costs, business incubator projects, and other expenses designed to foster rural entrepreneurship and job creation. Representative awards include a $300,000 REDLG project grant dated December 5, 2024 (completion May 28, 2026), a $300,000 REDLG award dated April 22, 2024 (completion April 22, 2026), and a $250,000 REDLG project grant dated May 28, 2026 (completion May 28, 2028). The combined obligated dollars across all six awards total $1.8 million.
Activity volume is sparse and irregular — four awards in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with four of the six awards scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Four awards carry completion dates between April 2026 and July 2027, creating a recompete window that overlaps the current date. The vendor's subsidiary, Tri-County Service Center, Inc., a for-profit organization, is named in the corporate structure but plays no documented role in the federal grant portfolio reflected in the source.
Tri-County EMC operates exclusively as a rural economic development pass-through mechanism for a single federal grantor, with no presence on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs, and no demonstrated subcontracting relationships with other federal prime contractors.
