The Coleridge Initiative Inc.

The Coleridge Initiative Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Warren, New Jersey, operates a FedRAMP-authorized Administrative Data Research Facility (ADRF) — a secure, cloud-based data enclave enabling federal researchers and agency personnel to store, access, and analyze sensitive government datasets while maintaining strict confidentiality and compliance standards. The organization competes as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis across civilian research and statistical agencies, with no set-aside designations across its recent award footprint.

The organization's customer concentration centers heavily on the Department of Agriculture. The top five funding offices account for 58% of recent awards by count but 98% of combined potential value — driven by a $7.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (Central Program Planning Coordination and Support) running through September 2029, and by $1.5 million in combined potential value across three orders from USDA's Economic Research Service. The National Science Foundation ($2.8 million), the Department of Homeland Security's Immediate Office of the Secretary ($2 million), and the Institute of Education Sciences ($367 thousand) round out the active customer set. The ranking by potential value differs sharply from the count ranking — USDA dominates dollars through the large IDC, while the NSF and DHS awards anchor the second and third tiers despite lower frequency. Coleridge also operates under the USDA IDC and a small seat on the HHS Program Support Center vehicle, but the majority of work flows through single-award definitive contracts and delivery orders under the parent IDC.

Recent representative work includes a $1.98 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with the Immediate Office of the Secretary (Civilian) for administrative data research facility support services (September 2026, ultimate completion June 2028); a $799,801 delivery order from USDA Economic Research Service for secure data enclave services (September 2024, ultimate completion September 2029); a $685,754 delivery order from USDA Economic Research Service for secure data enclave services (September 2026, ultimate completion September 2027); and a $367,442 definitive contract with the Institute of Education Sciences for operation and maintenance of the NCES Data Repository and Facility for Secure Data Access and Linkage (July 2025, ultimate completion June 2026). Coleridge also holds federal grants, including a National Science Foundation EAGER award (May 2022) measuring the impact and diffusion of open-source software innovation on contributor and project networks, and a NASS cooperative agreement titled "Show Us the NASS Data" (February 2022, ultimate completion January 2027).

Activity has grown year over year — two awards in 2022 to six in 2024 — with four awards (combined potential value $2.8 million) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. In its subcontractor role, Coleridge delivers data-related training and technical assistance to MDRC on the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Data Collaborative 2.0 project (April 2024), and provides research collaboration services to Atlas Research LLC on a TANF data innovation project (January 2024). Across both prime and sub work, Coleridge's capability portfolio centers on secure data infrastructure, administrative data research facility operations, data linkage and repository management, and applied research analytics for federal civilian agencies. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows $47 thousand in SCI-invoiced revenue in FY2024 across 1.0 FTE, with FY2025 activity ramping to 10.2 FTEs across three prime records, indicating federal service-contract work is scaling; however, SCI captures only service contracts above $150,000 and excludes the organization's goods and grant revenue, making SCI figures a strict subset of total federal activity.
