About this agency
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate is a civilian sub-agency within DHS that procures research, development, and technical services to advance homeland security capabilities across border management, cybersecurity, disaster resilience, and counterterrorism.
The Directorate has awarded 4,621 federal contracts totaling $9.87 billion in combined potential value since 2003, with $8.06 billion obligated. Contract activity in the last five years averaged 185 awards annually: 247 in 2022, 264 in 2023, 207 in 2024, 97 in 2025, and 110 so far in 2026. The most recent award closed on September 30, 2026. Among active primes over the last five years, competitive concentration is highly fragmented — the top five primes by award count hold 19 percent of recent awards. The Mitre Corporation leads by award count with 61 awards worth $155.4 million in combined potential value, followed by The Rand Corporation with 49 awards ($53.6 million) and Battelle National Biodefense Institute, LLC with 38 awards ($64.3 million). Noblis, Inc. ranks highest by potential value at $156.7 million across 7 awards. Three-quarters of contract awards carry no set-aside designation; small-business set-asides account for about one-fifth of awards, with HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and 8(a) awards splitting the remainder in small percentages.
The Directorate has made 379 federal grant awards totaling $597.1 million in combined federal dollars obligated since 2004, with most recent grant activity closing on June 7, 2024. Grant activity in the last five years averaged 7.4 awards annually, showing sparse and uneven funding: 1 award in 2019, 1 in 2020, 14 in 2021, 14 in 2023, and 7 in 2024. Grant recipient concentration is highly fragmented — the top five recipients by award count hold 32 percent of recent awards. Florida International University and University of Alaska Anchorage each received 2 recent awards; Northeastern University leads by federal dollars obligated at $17.7 million from 1 award. Grants are split nearly evenly between Cooperative Agreements (54 percent) and Project Grants (46 percent), reflecting the Directorate's research-partnership model across academic and research institutions.
