About Cornell University
Cornell University, a private nonprofit 1862 Land Grant College and research institution based in Ithaca, New York, serves as a prime contractor to the federal government for educational services, NROTC tuition reimbursement, curriculum development, training programs, and research activities, competing on full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across a diversified customer base of 76 federal agencies.
The university's recent federal award footprint spans 1,357 total awards (prime and sub combined, 100% prime) with combined potential value of $55.7 million, though obligated dollars total $286.1 million, indicating substantial legacy and execution capacity. The source data reflects award activity from 1979 forward, with recent trajectory showing 7 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 21 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 3 year-to-date in 2026. Only two awards with combined potential value of $643 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure.
Customer concentration sits with the Department of the Navy, Department of the Army, and Department of the Air Force, which together account for 63% of awards by count. The top-five customer agencies by potential value are the Department of the Navy Naval Education and Training Command ($7.7 million across 38 awards), NASA Glenn Research Center ($4.6 million across 9 awards), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center ($3.9 million across 16 awards), the Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel ($2.5 million across 7 awards), and the Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel Chief of Naval Personnel ($2.4 million across 5 awards). NROTC midshipmen tuition and allowable fees form a recurring Navy contract portfolio; representative recent awards include $1,191,541 for Spring 2026 NROTC tuition via Bureau of Naval Personnel (March 5, 2026), $1,301,107 for Fall 2025 retroactive NROTC tuition via Bureau of Naval Personnel (December 2, 2025), and $820,606 for Spring 2025 NROTC tuition via Chief of Naval Personnel (March 6, 2025).

The Indefinite Delivery Contract F0160078D0075 carries 26 task orders; Indefinite Delivery Contract N0024409G0002 carries 18 task orders with $930 thousand combined potential value; the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule carries 17 task orders worth $2.8 million; Indefinite Delivery Contract 06000051202 carries 16 task orders with $230 thousand combined potential value; and Indefinite Delivery Contract N0014006G0009 carries 15 task orders with $5.8 million combined potential value. Beyond Navy tuition work, Cornell delivers leadership development and project-management training under GSA MAS vehicles—a $32,645 Naval Sea Systems Command delivery order for a six-course leadership development certificate (April 2, 2026) and a $220,959 Navy Headquarters Division delivery order for Section Chief Leadership Training running through July 31, 2029 (August 1, 2024)—as well as curriculum development for civilian agencies, including a $609,970 definitive contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Leadership Development Academy curriculum running through September 20, 2026 (September 21, 2023) and a $671,485 Department of Labor delivery order for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility training (August 10, 2022).
Top capability categories by NAICS include Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (121 awards), All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (26 awards), and Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (18 awards). By PSC, the portfolio concentrates on R&D—Defense Other and R&D—Other Research and Development (Basic Research) combined (546 awards), Education/Training—Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees (158 awards), and R&D—Space: Science/Applications (52 awards). Cornell also receives federal research grants as prime recipient across energy, materials science, and biological research domains, though the source material emphasizes contract work.
In its minimal subcontractor role, Cornell performed marine species monitoring work as a sub to HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction on Navy contract N62470-20-D-0016, and participates as sub-recipient on federal research grants including enhanced marine biodiversity monitoring under Oregon State University prime, nursing research leadership certificate work under The Geneva Foundation prime, and 2D magnetic heterostructures research under University of Washington prime.
The corporate structure lists 22 subsidiaries including Tower Innovative Learning Solutions, Inc. (for-profit), Cornell Cooperative Extension entities across multiple counties, and Cornell University Police, indicating a multi-entity organizational footprint beyond the primary Bursar's Office division referenced in contract awards.
