About the company
American Institute of Physics Incorporated, a tax-exempt non-profit based in College Park, Maryland, supplies scientific journal subscriptions, educational programming, and research support services to federal agencies as a prime recipient and contractor across 28 customer agencies. AIP operates without SBA set-aside designations and competes in full-and-open federal procurements; the organization does not subcontract federal work and holds no parent vehicle seats on government-wide contracts or BPAs.
AIP's federal footprint splits between two distinct capability streams: scientific publishing and subscription services, and undergraduate physics education and internship administration. The publishing business centers on electronic journal subscription delivery and institutional access to AIP's Select Package of peer-reviewed physics journals and specialized scientific literature. Recent contract work includes a $248,955 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Navy (Bureau of Naval Personnel) through December 2028 for e-journal subscriptions to Nimitz Library at the United States Naval Academy, a $90,170 ceiling purchase order from the Department of Energy's Office of Science for AIP Journals subscription services through December 2026 (awarded February 2026), and a $9,112 purchase order from the Smithsonian Institution (December 2022). The education and workforce development stream supports federal efforts in STEM pipeline development and scientific workforce training, with AIP administering internships, fellowships, and student travel grants funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and NASA. Representative grants include a $336,177 project grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (CFDA 45.149, Division of Preservation and Access program) awarded June 2026 to develop a three-year training cohort for early and mid-career cultural heritage professionals to document and preserve records of the scientific enterprise; recurring cooperative agreements from NIST funding five undergraduate physics research interns annually for ten-week summer positions (June 2024, May 2023, May 2022); and project grants from NIST for physics internships supporting the Manufacturing USA program and advanced manufacturing initiatives.
Customer concentration is distributed across research and defense establishments. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 39% of all awards: the National Institute of Standards and Technology (20 awards, $14 thousand combined potential value), the Office of Naval Research (17 awards, $85 thousand), the Department of Energy's Office of Science (14 awards, $550 thousand), the Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (10 awards, $1.7 million), and the Army (9 awards). When ranked by potential value, the Air Force Materiel Command leads at $1.7 million, followed by Army West Point Military Academy ($600 thousand), DOE Office of Science ($550 thousand), Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command ($298 thousand), and Army Research Development and Engineering Command ($223 thousand). Award volume has declined substantially in recent years—six awards in 2022 falling to one in 2025—with only one award (combined potential value $90 thousand) scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. AIP's federal portfolio spans 181 total awards distributed across 73 purchase orders and task orders classified under the Newspapers and Periodicals PSC code and 68 awards under the Periodical Publishers NAICS category, reflecting the organization's dominant positioning as a specialized provider of scientific publication access to federal research institutions.
