About the company
Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corp Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation Division is a tax-exempt not-for-profit cooperative utility based in Carthage, Tennessee that receives federal disaster-recovery grants as a sub-recipient, not as a prime contractor. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of subgrant awards routed through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, with no prime contracts, IDVs, or direct grant agreements in the source data.
The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted to FEMA. Forty-three of forty-seven total awards (94% of recent activity) are FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards distributed as subgrants; one additional award comes from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. All forty-three FEMA subgrants are marked PA 4712 (Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, CFDA 97.039), awarded March 1, 2023, through Tennessee Emergency Management Agency as the prime grantee. The vendor acts as a sub-recipient in all cases, executing disaster mitigation and recovery work funded under federal emergency-management authorities rather than serving as a federal contractor or direct grant recipient.
The combined potential value across all forty-seven awards is listed as $840, though the obligated dollars ($27 million) are anomalously large relative to potential value — a data-reporting artifact common in FEMA subgrant tracking where potential value fields may not capture the full award structure. Activity peaked in 2021 with twenty-three awards, declining to one award in 2015 and four in 2023. The most recent award dates to March 1, 2023, placing the vendor's recent federal footprint over three years in the past as of July 2026. The vendor's primary NAICS is Electric Power Distribution, reflecting its utility cooperative identity and role in infrastructure hardening and restoration under FEMA mitigation programs.
