Florida State College At Jacksonville

Florida State College At Jacksonville, a U.S. government entity and state-controlled institution of higher learning headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, delivers specialized technical training, apprenticeship education, and workforce development services to federal agencies as a prime recipient on federal contracts and grants. The institution holds no set-aside designations and competes on full-and-open contracts and grants, with 92% of recent awards held as prime (contracts, IDVs, and grants) and 8% as sub-awards.

FSCJ's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Navy. The top five customer agencies account for 63% of recent awards by count and 64% of combined potential value, dominated by the Navy's various commands: the Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (133 awards, $3.4 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy broadly (25 awards, $147.1 million combined potential value), the Chief of Naval Personnel (12 awards, $67.6 million combined potential value), and the Naval Education and Training Command (6 awards, $11.5 million combined potential value). Non-Navy federal presence includes the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (27 awards, $1.7 million), the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (23 awards), and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (18 awards, $210 thousand). The Navy-to-all-other ratio is pronounced: Navy work represents approximately $250 million of FSCJ's $393.4 million combined potential value across all 360 federal awards in the source, while non-Navy civil and grant work is significantly smaller by dollar magnitude.

FSCJ's contract footprint sits principally on Navy indefinite delivery vehicles. The top parent vehicles include three Navy IDCs: N6133904D0004 (78 task orders, $3.3 million), N6133902G0004 (48 task orders), and N6133904D0045 (23 task orders, $225 thousand). The institution also places work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (21 task orders, $942 thousand) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons IDC DJBP0700COBO130 (9 task orders, $21 thousand). Work category concentration aligns with the institution's academic mission: top NAICS codes are All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction (107 awards), Junior Colleges (67 awards), and Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (23 awards), with corresponding PSC codes skewing heavily toward Education/Training categories (Education/Training-Other at 113 awards; Education/Training-General at 82).

Navy training delivery work centers on apprenticeship education and technical training. FSCJ holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Naval Air Systems Command (awarded April 2023, ceiling $942,494.67, running through April 2028) to provide apprenticeship academic training in support of Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) in Jacksonville, delivering post-secondary education and Engineering Technology Support Specialist Certificates for civilian and veteran apprentices. A recent delivery order under this IDV (May 2024, $124,369.83) procured academic training for FRCSE Apprenticeship Program apprentice employees. A prior order (June 2023, $174,550.95) also provided FRCSE Apprenticeship Training through July 2024. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons has purchased fire brigade training services from FSCJ (October 2022, $51,912; October 2023, $28,840). The Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard procured FAA certification courses via a BPA call under FSCJ's GSA Multiple Award Schedule (March 2022, $16,400).

Federal grant awards reflect FSCJ's education and workforce development portfolio beyond Navy contracts. Recent prime grant recipients include the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for a $1,527,973 project grant (October 2025) supporting the "250 Years of Democracy: Seminars to Enhance U.S. History and Civics Pedagogy for Teachers in Northeast Florida" (CFDA 84.422); the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education for TRIO Student Support Services for veterans ($272,364, September 2025, CFDA 84.042) and TRIO SSS STEM ($289,864, September 2025, CFDA 84.042); the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for commercial driver license program recruitment and enrollment support (awarded December 2025); and the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education for biotechnology technician curriculum development and lab equipment ($326,721, July 2024, CFDA 47.076), aerospace technician pathways and space materials manufacturing ($326,721, June 2022), electric vehicle battery technology training ($378,987, June 2022), and building and construction technician training with alternative energy sources ($326,721, July 2023). FSCJ also receives sub-awards as a grant sub-recipient from the Florida Department of Education and Department of Children and Families for career and technical education, adult education and literacy services under WIOA, Perkins V, and child care training programs.

Activity has been consistent over the past five years (7 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 13 in 2025, 2 in 2026 year-to-date), with an aggregate of 360 federal awards across all sources over the available award history and $276.1 million in combined obligations (70% of the $393.4 million combined potential value). Only 2 awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. FSCJ's subcontract footprint is minimal (8% of awards) and includes sub-grant work routed through the Florida Department of Education and state agencies rather than commercial prime contractors, reflecting the institution's role as an educational recipient rather than a vendor subcontracting to defense or IT integrators.
