About the company
University Of Denver, a tax-exempt private research university headquartered in Denver, Colorado, acts as a federal prime recipient and prime awardee across research grants and educational service contracts with no federal contract vehicles. The university competes in full-and-open federal research and training procurement—predominantly grants from the National Science Foundation, Department of Health and Human Services, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration—delivering research and educational services with no set-aside or sole-source posture.
University Of Denver's award footprint centers on federal research grants and tuition-based delivery of educational services. Recent prime work includes a $149.9 thousand NASA Astrophysics Division grant (Jan 2025) for research on binary star systems; a $898.3 thousand NSF STEM Education grant (Sep 2025) developing AI systems to assess and nurture student creativity in K-12 environments; a $948.4 thousand NSF Biological Sciences collaborative grant (Nov 2025) to develop cell-type-specific molecular tools for sponge research; a $600 thousand SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services grant (Sep 2026) to establish the NextGen Center for Adolescent Resilience and Empowerment; and recurring delivery order contracts with the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for tuition and educational fees (ranging from $11.5 thousand to $37.6 thousand per order, awarded multiple times annually through 2026). The university acts predominantly as a sub-recipient on collaborative research grants, contributing expertise in developmental neuropsychology, mental health research, biomechanics, and STEM education policy to larger grant consortia led by peer universities and research institutions.
Customer concentration is broad across federal research and training agencies. The National Science Foundation leads the prime award count with 139 awards, followed by the Department of the Navy (132 awards) and the Department of the Air Force (52 awards); however, the top-value customers by combined potential dollars are NASA Shared Services Center ($2.2 million across 12 awards), the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($424 thousand across 29 awards), and the Air Force ($199 thousand across 11 awards). Tuition-delivery work is concentrated with Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, which places repeated small delivery orders for educational services. The portfolio spans 124 distinct federal agencies, indicating diffuse customer relationships across the federal R&D and training landscape. National Science Foundation research funding dominates the prime award volume and potential value; the Navy tuition work is high-frequency but low-dollar-per-order.
The top parent vehicles are Navy Basic Ordering Agreements for tuition delivery: N0018916GZ026 (32 task orders, $529 thousand combined potential value), N6092186DA070 (21 task orders), and N6053091D0081 (17 task orders). These vehicles anchor the university's recurring transaction footprint with the Navy. The university does not hold a GWAC seat, GSA Schedule, or broad government-wide IDIQ; instead, it responds to individual solicitations and task orders under agency-specific BOAs and small purchase awards.
Activity has fluctuated year-over-year—43 awards in 2023, 56 in 2024, 43 in 2025, declining to 20 in 2026, with 1 award recorded in 2027. This volatility reflects the grant-funded research model, where award timing and volume depend on competition cycles, peer review success, and agency budget execution. Thirty-nine awards are approaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $150 thousand), representing modest recompete exposure primarily in the form of grants sunsetting at their natural conclusion rather than discretionary contract vehicles.
Service Contract Inventory captures minimal activity—six records across four fiscal years, all as named subcontractor (zero as prime), delivering approximately 0.1 to 1.0 FTEs per year on task orders. This reflects that the university's SCI-reportable federal service work is incidental to its primary mission as a research and educational institution; the vast majority of the university's federal revenue flows through research grants and tuition contracts below or outside the SCI reporting threshold, as well as through institutional overhead and indirect cost recovery. The university competes in higher education and research as a full-and-open participant without reliance on set-asides or niche federal procurement vehicles.
