About the company
Union County Economic Development Corp, doing business as Ucedc, is a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) based in Cranford, New Jersey, that acts as a federal grant recipient (100% of awards) delivering procurement technical assistance, microloan programs, and community development financing to small businesses and underserved entrepreneurs across New Jersey and subordinate markets.
Ucedc operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contracts or contract vehicles. The vendor's federal footprint spans eight customer agencies over forty-eight awards since 2006, with combined obligated dollars of $32.1 million. Activity has contracted in recent years—from four awards in 2023 to one in 2026—and three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The top five federal funding sources account for 81% of awards: the Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (9 awards), Defense Logistics Agency (9 awards), and the Small Business Administration's Office of Capital Access (8 awards) and Office of Performance Management and the Chief Financial Officer (5 awards).
Ucedc's service portfolio centers on three federal grant programs. The SBA Microloan Program (CFDA 59.046) funds direct microloans under $50,000 and business training to startup and growing small businesses owned by women, minorities, and low-income entrepreneurs; representative awards include a $3.3 million project grant (July 2022–June 2023), a $1.5 million formula grant (July 2023–June 2024), and a $944,363 project grant (July 2024–June 2025). The Department of Defense Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms program (CFDA 12.002) supports APEX Accelerator centers providing free counseling and proposal-development guidance to businesses navigating federal and state contracting; Ucedc received cooperative agreements from the Defense Logistics Agency ($291,515, January 2022–March 2023) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense ($342,961.67, April 2026–March 2027). The Treasury Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CFDA 14.889) provides capital and development-services grants to certified CDFIs; Ucedc holds multiple project grants with ultimate completion dates through December 2027. The SBA Program for Investment in Microenterprises (CFDA 59.050) funded a $165,000 technical-assistance grant (September 2023–September 2024). Ucedc also receives SBA training-assistance grants under the Microloan Program framework. All grant work is performed as prime recipient with no sub-award activity.
