CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION ASSOCIATION OF PUTNAM COUNTY

The Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of Putnam County delivers community-based educational and outreach services focused on agriculture, environmental stewardship, youth development, and family well-being. As a nonprofit extension entity, its core capabilities center on program design, adult and youth education, participatory research, and public engagement initiatives grounded in land-grant university research. The organization specializes in translating scientific knowledge into actionable local practices, particularly in sustainable farming, nutrition education, 4-H youth programming, and natural resource conservation. Its technical expertise includes curriculum development, community needs assessment, stakeholder facilitation, and data-driven program evaluation using extension methodology. Key differentiators include deep roots in rural and suburban communities, a networked approach leveraging Cornell University’s research infrastructure, and a proven ability to mobilize volunteers and local partners for scalable impact. Award history is not available to confirm specific federal agency engagements, and no recent contract awards are documented. Consequently, no verifiable agency relationships or federal programmatic patterns can be identified from the provided data. The primary NAICS code 611699, “Other Schools and Instruction,” reflects its role in non-degree adult and community education, distinguishing it from formal academic institutions. Its market positioning is rooted in informal education and extension services, serving as a bridge between academic research and public application in areas such as agriculture, health, and environmental education. The entity operates as a 2A — a small, non-profit organization — with no federal certifications on record. It maintains a localized presence in Putnam County, New York, and functions primarily as a community-based service provider rather than a federal contractor. Its government market positioning is indirect, relying on partnerships with state and local entities rather than direct federal procurement.
