Fairleigh Dickinson University

Fairleigh Dickinson University, doing business as Wroxton College, is a private non-profit educational institution based in Teaneck, New Jersey that provides federal contract and grant work in STEM education, behavioral health workforce training, and biomedical research as a prime recipient (95% of recent awards). The institution operates without SBA set-aside designations and competes in full-and-open federal markets across civilian and defense agencies.

FDU's federal footprint centers on health professions and STEM research. On the contract side, the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery awarded FDU a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement in September 2024 running through September 2034, with a $0.00 posted ceiling but five delivered task orders (valued at $113 thousand combined) for tuition and fees supporting Naval personnel training. Representative contract work includes a $27,527 firm fixed-price delivery order for educational services completed in May 2026 and a $26,043 delivery order completed in December 2025, both issued under the BUMED BOA. On the grant side, FDU holds thirteen active prime federal grants totaling approximately $4.5 million across behavioral health, STEM education, and biomedical research domains. Recent prime grant recipients include the Health Resources and Services Administration (Bureau of Health Professionals), the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Education. Representative grant awards include a $600 thousand per-year Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training Program (HRSA, extended through June 2029) supporting Master of Social Work, psychiatric-mental health nursing practitioner, and school psychology programs; a $691,111 School Safety National Activities project supporting mental health services in educational settings (Department of Education, completed December 2025); a $199,844 Engineering Research Initiation award for plant biomechanics and crop resilience (NSF CMMI, running through May 2028); a $400 thousand collaborative research grant for biotechnology innovation capacity building with University of Minnesota Duluth (NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships, running through August 2027); and a $390 thousand NSF Chemistry Division award for hydrophilic interaction chromatography retention mechanisms research (running through June 2027). FDU also received a $999,987 NSF STEM Education grant supporting cybersecurity and data science curriculum development (running through September 2026).

Customer concentration is fragmented across twenty-nine distinct federal agencies. By award count, the Health Resources and Services Administration (23 awards combined across its Bureau of Health Professionals and main office) and the Navy (14 awards combined) lead; by potential value, Navy and NIH anchor the top tier. FDU sits on the BUMED BOA (5 task orders, $113 thousand combined potential value) as its only named parent vehicle. Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, indicating modest recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, FDU participates in research teams as a sub-recipient on grants from the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, University of Massachusetts Boston, and Rutgers, typically contributing neuroscience expertise, research administration capacity-building, program coaching implementation, or STEM pathways coordination. The institution's capability portfolio is concentrated in education delivery (tuition and fees for military personnel), STEM and health professions curriculum development, behavioral health and substance-use disorder workforce training, and faculty-led biomedical and engineering research, with particular strength in serving underrepresented populations in STEM and addressing behavioral health workforce shortages in high-need regions.
