About the company
Columbus State University, a public institution within the University System of Georgia, operates as a prime recipient of federal research grants and contracts and as a subcontractor under federal educational and STEM initiatives. The university competes full-and-open for awards across civilian agencies, with no set-aside designations across its recent portfolio. The institution is headquartered in Columbus, Georgia, and operates as a state-controlled institution of higher learning under the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
The university's federal footprint splits between two distinct capability areas. The dominant work stream centers on lodging, meals, facility usage, and event services supporting military recruitment and JROTC training programs, particularly the Army Recruiting Command's Junior Cadet Leadership Challenge (JCLC) events. Representative contract work includes a $290,070.45 purchase order from Army Recruiting Command for non-personal services (lodging, meals, facility usage) supporting STEM instruction for JCLC Moore Muscogee County School District and Atlanta Public Schools (awarded May 29, 2026), a $214,019.96 firm fixed-price purchase order for JROTC cadre lodging and meals from May 31 to June 7, 2024, and a $239,478.75 purchase order for lodging services supporting Army recruiting events (awarded June 1, 2023). The second work stream comprises federal research grants in STEM education, environmental science, and workforce development. Recent grant awards include a $300,000 NASA science program grant (CFDA 43.001, awarded January 12, 2026, running through January 11, 2028) to execute a balanced science program aligned with National Academies guidance, and a $550,000 Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education grant (CFDA 84.116, awarded September 1, 2024, running through August 31, 2027) for semiconductor curricula and workforce development.
Columbus State University's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Army. The top five customer agencies account for 65% of awards by count and 61% of combined potential value. Army Recruiting Command leads with 23 awards totaling $2.8 million combined potential value, followed by the National Science Foundation (11 awards), the Department of the Army (11 awards), and Army Training and Doctrine Command (11 awards, $81 thousand combined potential value). The university holds positions on two Army parent vehicles: Basic Ordering Agreement DABT1079H1944 (5 task orders) and Indefinite Delivery Contract DADA1003G0048 (1 task order).
Activity has remained flat year over year at approximately four to five awards annually over the past four years, with two awards (combined potential value $150 thousand) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. The university's subcontractor role is limited (5% of recent awards) and includes participation as a sub-recipient under Auburn University on NSF INCLUDES Alliance funding for STEM disability inclusion (awarded March 18, 2025) and on herbicide exposure research affecting aquaculture biology (awarded January 2, 2024), and under the Department of Human Services on curriculum development for parental legal and financial responsibility awareness (awarded October 30, 2023). The university's category concentration reflects its operational posture: colleges and universities (27 awards), hotels and motels (6 awards), recreational camps (6 awards), and caterers (3 awards) dominate the NAICS profile, with education/training (12 awards) and transportation/travel/lodging (9 awards) anchoring the PSC portfolio.
