About this agency
The National Science Foundation Division of Acquisition and Cooperative Support, a civilian sub-agency within NSF, procures administrative, operational, and technology services to enable NSF's research-mission infrastructure and directorate-level operations. DACS transacts across a highly fragmented prime-contractor base, with modest individual award values and a heavy reliance on open market competition.
DACS has awarded 498 federal contracts since 2003, totaling $189.4 million in combined potential value with $154.2 million obligated to date. Recent activity has been uneven: 55 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 28 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 13 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is 2026-10-01. Across all time, DACS has worked with 237 distinct prime contractors, reflecting a highly competitive and rotating supplier base with no single dominant player.
Over the last five years, competitive concentration by award count is fragmented; the top five primes hold 27 percent of recent awards. Premier Group Services Inc. leads by count with 11 awards worth $1.1 million combined potential value, followed by Software Information Resource Corp. (8 awards, $1 million combined potential value) and Sterling Computers Corporation (6 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value). By potential value, concentration is even lower, at 10 percent of the rolling-five-year aggregate. Iridescent Sensors Inc. and Delta Bravo Artificial Intelligence Inc. each hold $5.6 million combined potential value across two awards; Sweetsense Inc. ranks third at $5 million across two awards. Sterling Computers Corporation appears on both lists, underscoring the absence of clear dominance by contract magnitude.
DACS strongly favors open market competition: 68 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 21 percent of awards (mostly Total Small Business designations), with 8(a) sole-source awards at 6 percent, HUBZone at 3 percent, and service-disabled veteran-owned and woman-owned small-business set-asides each at 1 percent.
Recent contract opportunities include Commercial Business Intelligence Data Feed Services (solicitation 49100426Q0043, due 2026-08-06, closed), which sought recurring commercial business data feeds to support NSF's SBIR/STTR public website and analytics platforms; and Starlink Low Earth Orbit Satellite Communications System—Equipment and Service Procurement (solicitation 49100426K0008, pre-solicitation posted 2026-07-24, due 2026-07-29), for LEO satellite communications hardware and services.
