About this agency
The National Science Foundation Division of Grants and Agreements, a sub-office within the civilian National Science Foundation, administers federal contracts supporting research infrastructure, program management, and technical services aligned with the Foundation's science and engineering mission. The Division awards contracts through its primary portfolio alongside grant-making activities, though contract activity represents a secondary function relative to the Foundation's primary grant-funding role.
The Division has awarded 10 federal contracts cumulatively since 2014, with combined potential value of $23.6 million and $20.1 million in combined dollars obligated. Recent activity shows concentration in 2024, when the Division issued 6 awards; prior and subsequent years (2014, 2017, 2025, and 2026) each recorded 1 award. The most recently recorded award closed on 2026-03-11. Activity cadence across the last five years reflects 2024: 6 awards, 2025: 1 award, and 2026: 1 year-to-date award.
The competitive base remains highly concentrated among a narrow set of primes. Over the last five years, the top five contractors by award count and combined potential value cover 88 percent of recent awards. Lawelawe Technology Services, Inc. leads by award frequency with 3 contracts totaling $642 thousand in combined potential value. Among top contractors by potential value, Teledyne Flir Defense LLC, Battelle Memorial Institute, and International Business Machines Corporation each hold one $5 million contract, together with Re3D, Inc. ($4.2 million, 1 award) and EFK Group LLC ($1.6 million, 1 award). The remaining two primes in the all-time portfolio hold single awards outside the top-five window.
Set-aside distribution shows the Division awards predominantly on an unrestricted basis—80 percent of contracts carry no set-aside designation. Eight(a) Sole Source awards account for 20 percent of the contract portfolio. No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the current solicitation pipeline.
