About Highline College
Highline College, a public community college in Des Moines, Washington, is a federal grant recipient (85% of recent awards as prime recipient) that delivers STEM education research, student support services, workforce development training, and occupational certification programs to the Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Justice. As a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, Highline competes in full-and-open procurement without SBA set-aside designations. The college operates one active Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Detention Center SeaTak for flagger certification training and holds a single federal contract award — a $26,488 BPA call issued June 11, 2026, for flagger classes 2–11, completing September 30, 2026.
Highline's federal footprint centers on research grants and student services funding rather than traditional federal contracting. The National Science Foundation and the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education dominate the award portfolio by count, accounting for 53% of recent awards across 28 grants. NSF-funded projects include a $211,083 collaborative research grant (CFDA 47.076, December 2022 through November 2025) to develop quantitative-skills curriculum for undergraduate earth science majors, with modular online learning resources and faculty professional development; a multi-year project grant on culturally responsive team learning for underserved STEM students (March 2023 through February 2027); and a conference grant to convene two-year college STEM education researchers (April 2025 through March 2026, in collaboration with Carleton College). Department of Education grants include a $272,364 TRIO Student Support Services award (CFDA 84.042, September 2025 through August 2026) supporting retention and graduation for disadvantaged students, a Talent Search grant (September 2022 through August 2026), and a Title III Strengthening Institutions grant (October 2021 through September 2025). Highline also received a $735,356 Department of Agriculture Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program grant (September 2021 through August 2024) to deliver training and technical assistance to immigrant and refugee farmers in South King County.
The college acts as a grant sub-recipient to the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (adult basic education services) and to Washington State University (Small Business Development Center advising). Recent activity shows modest growth: two awards in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026 year to date. Three awards (combined potential value $26,000) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $695.8 million against a reported combined potential value of $117,000, a reporting artifact reflecting the college's grant-recipient status and the distinction between grant award ceilings and actual obligation tracking.
