About the company
Colorado State University, Sponsored Programs Division, a public Land Grant research institution based in Fort Collins, Colorado, operates as a prime recipient and subcontractor across federal research grants, cooperative agreements, indefinite delivery contracts, and purchase orders spanning life sciences, environmental management, agricultural innovation, and advanced materials discovery. The division does not compete under set-aside categories; it pursues full-and-open federal funding as a university research entity.
Colorado State's recent federal footprint (2023–2027) spans 7,156 awards with a combined potential value of $869.9 million, though obligated dollars total $8.74 billion—indicating a substantial multi-year funded pipeline. Prime awards account for 93% of the portfolio; subcontractor engagement averages 12% of hours on SCI-reportable contracts. Activity peaked in 2024 at 516 awards and has moderated in 2025–2026 as research grants transitioned from award to execution phase; 468 awards with combined potential value of $49.9 million face completion within the next 24 months, signaling recompete exposure across grants and cooperative agreements.
The top five customer agencies by potential value are the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ($504 million across 185 awards), NASA Shared Services Center ($102.2 million across 408 awards), the National Park Service ($5.7 million across 104 awards), NOAA ($917 thousand across 177 awards), and the USGS ($263 thousand across 147 awards). NSF leads by award count with 818 recent awards, followed by APHIS with 565 and NASA with 408. The portfolio is concentrated in environmental consulting, testing laboratory services, and R&D across space science, life sciences, and basic research.
Concrete work includes a $146.3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with NIAID for preclinical models of infectious diseases (small animal, non-human primate, and animal replacement models); a $29.5 million project grant from the Forest Service for community wildfire defense across nine Colorado communities through November 2030; a $6.75 million ARPA-E cooperative agreement on nitrogen use efficiency in maize and sorghum through March 2030; and a $2.088 million ESTCP definitive contract for the Operational Picture Environment for Resource Management GIS platform supporting DoD installations (awarded October 2025, completion October 2029).
SCI-reported invoicing across federal service contracts ran approximately $8.5 million from FY2022–FY2025, averaging 9.2 FTEs annually on prime contracts. Median government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts sit around $91.49/hr, with senior labor rates reaching the 90th percentile at $518.65/hr. The division subcontracts with specialized partners including Seattle Children's Hospital (tuberculosis vaccine research under NIAID), University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Rice University (community resilience modeling under NSF), and multiple university consortia on NSF and NIH programs, but generates most delivery through direct CSU staff and faculty.
Colorado State competes across federal vehicles including the Federal Supply Schedule GSA 10F-0507N (43 task orders), agency-specific blanket purchase agreements with USDA and DOD, and direct competitive solicitations from 306 distinct federal agencies. The institution operates as a non-federal research partner under the Sikes Act delivering natural resource management services across 15+ Department of Defense installations and as a cooperative research unit host under the USGS program. Recent grant activity emphasizes infectious disease research, climate-smart agriculture, wildfire mitigation, ecosystem restoration, and advanced manufacturing.
