About West Central Electric Cooperative Inc.
West Central Electric Cooperative Inc., doing business as Wcenet, is a non-profit rural electric cooperative based in Murdo, South Dakota that supplies temporary and permanent electrical infrastructure services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) and as a utility repair subcontractor on disaster-recovery grants. The cooperative holds tax-exempt status and has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2004, operating in the electrical utilities space (PSC utilities category dominates recent award volume).
Wcenet's federal customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of the Air Force, which accounts for 146 of 161 total awards in the source data. The cooperative places task orders almost exclusively under Air Force Basic Ordering Agreement F3960170D0053, which carries 146 task orders. The remaining awards split across the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (3 awards, $29 thousand combined potential value for downstream temporary electric service and decommissioning), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (6 awards), the Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services (2 awards, including a $258 thousand Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant under CFDA 10.854 announced in March 2026 to support rural business development in South Dakota), and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (1 award). The Air Force concentration is extreme; the second- and third-ranked customers combined represent roughly 2% of award count.
Recent capability work includes a $12.1 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers (ENDIST Omaha) in June 2025 for decommissioning and closeout of downstream temporary electric connection and installation services at Pierre, South Dakota, completing August 31, 2025. Wcenet also received a $258 thousand Rural Economic Development Grant from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services (announced March 20, 2026, completing March 20, 2028) enabling the cooperative to identify, evaluate, and support rural business development projects and feasibility studies within its service territory. In its subcontractor role, Wcenet performed utility repair work under grants from the South Dakota Department of Public Safety in 2022 and 2023. Award activity is sparse in the source data (one award per year or fewer across the past five years), with only one award reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months.
