About the company
Kasetsart University, a public research institution based in Bangkok, Thailand, operates as a prime recipient on federal contracts and grants focused on long-term forest monitoring, ecological data collection, and agricultural research in Southeast Asia. The university competes full-and-open, with no set-asides applied to its recent awards.
Kasetsart's federal footprint centers on the Smithsonian Institution, which accounts for all but one of the university's tracked awards. The Smithsonian has engaged Kasetsart as a prime contractor on three firm fixed-price purchase orders for ForestGEO and Geo-Trees work at Thai forest monitoring plots — a $572 thousand definitive contract awarded June 8, 2022 (completed September 30, 2024) for forest plot recensus, maintenance, phenology observation, dendrometer band measurement, and mortality surveys; a $99 thousand purchase order awarded May 21, 2025 (completed December 31, 2025) for ForestGEO and Geo-Trees field work; and a $117 thousand purchase order awarded December 30, 2025 (running through December 31, 2026) for census survey fieldwork. These contracts support the Smithsonian's broader forest monitoring mission in Thailand as part of the international ForestGEO and Geo-Trees research networks focused on tropical forest dynamics and biodiversity assessment.
Kasetsart also holds a prime federal grant award from the Department of the Air Force (September 2021 through September 2023) for research on elevon control power effectiveness in vertical-takeoff-and-landing tail-sitter aircraft. The university appears as a sub-recipient on a USAID Bureau for Food Security grant managed by Michigan State University, performing research on agri-food system policy and sustainable food systems in the Mekong subregion (Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam), awarded September 2024.
Recent activity spans nine total awards across five calendar years (2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025) with combined potential value of $1.4 million. The Smithsonian relationship dominates the portfolio (seven awards, $1.4 million combined potential value). One award worth approximately $117 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity for the Smithsonian's forest monitoring work in Thailand.
