About the company
Kansas State University, operating through Pre-Awards Services, is a public land-grant research institution and state government entity that delivers federal contract and grant services across veterinary diagnostics, animal health surveillance, agricultural research, and scientific infrastructure with no set-asides. The university functions as a prime recipient and prime contractor across 241 distinct federal agencies, with 91 percent of recent awards held as prime positions and 9 percent as sub-awards. Over the past five years, Kansas State has received 3,217 total awards (prime and sub combined) valued at $207.5 million in potential value, though the actual obligated amount across all awards reaches $2.32 billion, indicating substantial federal investment in the institution's research and service delivery capacity.
The university's core federal footprint centers on agricultural research, animal health services, and STEM education. The Department of Agriculture drives dominant customer concentration: USDA NIFA has placed 501 awards across the institution, followed by 147 awards from USDA's Agricultural Research Service and 116 awards from USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The National Science Foundation represents the second-largest customer with 409 awards. By dollar concentration, USDA APHIS Veterinary Services anchors the portfolio with 56 awards carrying $21 million in combined potential value, reflecting Kansas State's role as a certified laboratory service provider for rabies (RFFIT) testing, avian influenza diagnostics, African swine fever and classical swine fever testing, antimicrobial resistance analysis, and foreign animal disease surveillance under the National Animal Health Laboratory Network. Representative prime contracts include a $100,000 USDA APHIS Veterinary Services indefinite delivery contract (awarded December 2021, period through November 2026) supporting RFFIT rabies diagnostics and related animal health testing, under which the university has issued 47 delivery orders totaling $1.1 million in potential value as of 2026. Recent delivery orders placed against this vehicle include a $145,000 HPAI testing order (January 2026), a $50,000 HPAI cattle emerging event testing order (April 2026), and a $16,500 African swine fever and classical swine fever testing order (May 2026).
Beyond veterinary diagnostics, Kansas State delivers federal grant research across USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), NSF competitive research programs, and NIH grant portfolios. Representative grants demonstrate capacity in crop genetics and breeding, food safety research, livestock productivity, and emerging infectious disease: a $1.421 million USDA NIFA award (September 2026) funds development of drought-resilient winter wheat cultivars; an $8 million Department of State Cooperative Agreement (June 2026) for the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Cereals with sub-recipients at Clemson University, Cornell, Purdue, University of Florida, Louisiana State University, and African research institutes (ISRA in Senegal, EIAR in Ethiopia); a $800,000 NSF award (August 2026) investigating horizontal chromosome transfer mechanisms in Pyricularia fungi; a $738,183 NIAID award (July 2026) characterizing immunoregulatory protease networks in Anopheles gambiae malaria mosquito vectors; and a $650,000 USDA NIFA award (February 2026) developing African swine fever vaccines with diagnostic tools.
Service Contract Inventory data shows declining federal services work captured above the $150,000 reporting threshold: SCI-reported invoiced revenue reached $3 million in FY2022 across 8.1 FTEs, declining to $1 million in FY2024 across 2.1 FTEs and $0 in FY2025 across 0.2 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $82.10 per hour to a 90th percentile of $651.51 per hour, with a median of $217.24 per hour, reflecting a mix of research scientist, technical staff, and professional service rates. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed zero percent of work through subcontractors, indicating direct delivery teams. Sub-award activity appears limited to research collaborations: named sub-recipients include St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (influenza pathogenicity testing under NIAID CEIRR contracts), Mississippi State University (hazmat/UAS risk assessment), Auburn University (canine detection sciences), University of Kentucky Research Foundation (genomic bioinformatics), University of South Alabama (plant membrane nanodomains and bacterial resistance), and multiple land-grant and regional institutions on USDA and NSF collaborative awards.
The university competes on full-and-open basis with no small-business or other set-aside designation, leveraging its status as a government entity and land-grant institution with established veterinary, agricultural, and research infrastructure. The recompete cliff shows 173 awards reaching completion within the next 24 months with combined potential value of $1.7 million, primarily represented by rolling delivery orders against the core USDA APHIS veterinary services contract and annual NIFA formula grant awards. Activity has declined year over year from 211 awards in 2024 to 148 in 2025 and 101 in 2026, with only 2 awards recorded in 2027, reflecting the snapshot timing of the source data. Kansas State's federal positioning remains anchored to its core mission as a research institution: veterinary diagnostics and animal health surveillance represent the highest-value federal work, with agricultural research, grant administration, extension programming, and STEM workforce development distributed across NSF, USDA, NIH, and Department of Education customer bases.
