About the company
HMH Education Company, doing business as Houghton Mifflin Publishing, is a for-profit educational publisher based in Boston, Massachusetts that sells K-12 curriculum materials, digital content, reading intervention programs, and professional development services to federal education agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis with no SBA set-asides. The vendor operates as a parent company with one subsidiary, Greenwood Publishing Group, LLC.
HMH's federal footprint is dominated by two customer agencies that account for 95% of combined potential value. The Department of Defense Education Activity is the largest customer by far, with 785 awards valued at $100.7 million combined potential value. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office, though representing only six awards, carries $21.8 million in combined potential value—a concentration signal suggesting either large delivery orders or a multi-year subscription base. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Bureau of Indian Education follows with 98 awards valued at $4.2 million, and the Navajo Region and Great Plains Region carry an additional $3.9 million combined across 166 awards. Across 75 distinct customer agencies, HMH placed 1,563 total awards with $138.6 million combined potential value and $70 million in combined obligated dollars.
HMH's work spans reading and math curricula (Into Reading, Into Math, READ 180, Math 180), English language arts and literature (Close Reader, Collections, Into Literature), science instruction (Science Dimensions), world languages (French), digital and consumable materials, curriculum licenses, professional development services, and web-based reading intervention platforms for students with reading disabilities. Representative DoDEA contracts include a $3.7 million delivery order for K-5 mathematics curricular resources (April 2022), a $432.6 thousand student resource package (April 2022), ELA curriculum for grades 6-8 valued at $346.2 thousand (April 2024), and a $217.2 thousand order for READ 180 consumable workbooks (August 2025). For the Bureau of Indian Education, named work includes reading curriculum at $222.7 thousand (August 2022), INTO READING K-6 resources at $85.3 thousand (August 2023), and professional development services ranging from $13.1 to $54.4 thousand. A single-award IDC with DoDEA effective September 2025 established a $502.8 thousand ceiling for web-based reading intervention services for grades 3-5 students with documented reading disabilities through September 2030, with initial task-order value of $184.9 thousand.
Activity has trended upward over recent years—24 awards in 2022, growing to 44 in 2024—but dropped sharply to 19 awards in 2025 and 11 year-to-date in 2026, signaling either a measurement window effect or a potential footprint contraction. Within the next twenty-four months, only 10 awards totaling $351 thousand face completion and recompete exposure, indicating limited near-term vehicle turnover risk.
HMH's vehicle strategy centers on proprietary IDC vehicles rather than government-wide contracting platforms. The top five parent contract vehicles are all HMH-specific IDCs: HE125410D0011 (265 task orders, $1.1 million), HE125409D0009 (79 task orders, $719 thousand), HE125414D0013 (74 task orders, $1.4 million), HE125416D0003 (66 task orders, $3.2 million), and HE125405D0007 (58 task orders, $661 thousand). These represent task-order vehicles supporting curriculum delivery to specific customer agencies rather than shared multiple-award contract positions. The vendor does not appear on GSA Schedules, GWACs, or civilian agency IDIQs in the award record.
Across the award portfolio, 1,210 awards fall under NAICS 511130 (Book Publishers), with another 54 under Educational Support Services and 28 under Software Publishers. PSC coding reflects the same distribution: 1,292 awards under Books and Pamphlets, 77 under Information Technology Software, and 38 under Education/Training—General, indicating that HMH's federal work is primarily classified as educational publishing and materials supply rather than service delivery.
HMH acts as a prime contractor on 100% of awards in the source data, with a sub-award footprint of four grant sub-awards under prime recipients Maine Department of Education, East Tennessee State University, Sri International, and American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences, reflecting limited teaming or subcontract activity. Grant work centers on teacher professional learning, gifted student identification, classroom engagement tools, and the relationships between teacher professional development features and student outcomes, funded by education agencies including the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences and the National Science Foundation.
