About the company
Dakota State University, a state-controlled educational institution headquartered in Madison, South Dakota, operates as a federal grant recipient (82% of recent awards) and occasional federal contract subcontractor, delivering cybersecurity education, AI and quantum computing research, workforce development, and small-business cybersecurity services to the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, and the Small Business Administration. DSU is a child entity of the State of South Dakota Board of Regents and competes as an undesignated educational institution without SBA set-aside certifications.
DSU's grant portfolio centers on cybersecurity, AI, and physics education programs. Recent major awards include a $3.3 million NSF Division of Graduate Education grant (CFDA 47.076) awarded August 2025 for the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service AI and Cybersecurity initiative, providing full scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in AI and cybersecurity through July 2028; a $464,133 Department of Defense Office of the Secretary of Defense grant (CFDA 12.902) awarded August 2026 for the Department of War Cyber Service Academy Scholarships program supporting merit-based scholarships and capacity-building in cybersecurity education through August 2031; a $299,956 NSF Integrative Activities award (CFDA 47.083) granted February 2026 supporting quantum computing research on few-nucleon interactions in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and USC through January 2028; and a $1,045,414 Small Business Administration Cybersecurity for Small Business Pilot Program grant (CFDA 59.079) awarded September 2024 to provide cybersecurity training, counseling, and technical assistance to small businesses in Madison through September 2026. DSU also serves as a collaborative research partner in the $145,770 NSF Germanium-Based Science and Technology Advancement Research (E-RISE RII) initiative (CFDA 47.083) led by the University of South Dakota, contributing to germanium detector technology development and AI-driven materials research across a six-institution South Dakota consortium through June 2029, and participates in the NSF-funded South Dakota Research Ecosystem Network (E-CORE RII) cooperative agreement led by Black Hills State University, addressing K-12 STEM education and workforce pipeline development across South Dakota through April 2028.
The National Science Foundation dominates DSU's customer concentration by award count with 19 awards, while the Department of Navy anchors the potential-value ranking with $147.1 million across two awards (100% of combined potential value in that ranking), a structural divergence signaling high-dollar Navy contracts offset by lower-volume, lower-value NSF research grants. The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education accounts for six awards, and the NSF Office of Integrative Activities and the Department of Defense National Security Agency each account for four awards. Across the top five customer agencies, DSU accounts for 63% of its recent award volume. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is limited: three awards face ultimate completion within that window.
DSU's federal contracting footprint is minimal. The university subcontracts on defense cyber operations and research partnerships under primes including The Mil Corporation (Department of Navy cyber warfare support), Arizona State University (University Partnerships for Tactical AI Cybersecurity program), and Research Triangle Institute (Registered Apprenticeship program expansion initiative). Service Contract Inventory reporting captures only two SCI-reportable subcontracts across FY2022–FY2024, reflecting DSU's primary role as a federal grant recipient rather than a service-contract prime. SCI-reported federal deliveries declined from 4.9 FTEs in FY2022 to 1.9 FTEs in FY2024, consistent with DSU's grant-centric profile and limited SCI-captured activity.
