About the company
Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College, a state-controlled land-grant research institution headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, operates as a prime federal contractor and grant recipient across research, educational, and diagnostic service delivery to federal agencies, competing primarily full-and-open on merit-based awards rather than under set-asides. The institution holds significant federal research and service portfolios spanning 194 distinct customer agencies, with 3,163 total awards (prime and sub combined) carrying $223.6 million in combined potential value and $2.09 billion in obligated dollars, reflecting its status as a comprehensive research university with veterinary medicine, marine science, agricultural extension, and health sciences missions.
LSU's customer concentration is diverse and spread across research agencies. The National Science Foundation leads by award count at 679 awards, while NASA's Shared Services Center dominates potential-value rankings with $45.6 million across 122 awards, followed by NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at $40 million across 32 awards, and NOAA at $30.8 million across 216 awards. This spread across 39% of awards from top five agencies signals wide customer diversification rather than concentration risk. By potential dollars, the top five agencies account for 58% of combined value, with NASA, NIAID, NOAA, and HHS/Health Resources Administration anchoring the portfolio, balanced by DoD, NSF, and departmental research funding.
LSU operates predominantly as a prime contractor and grant recipient—93% of 2,926 prime awards versus 7% as sub (237 awards)—positioning it as an end-customer with federal agencies rather than a feeder to larger primes. Recent activity shows 228 awards in 2024 and 152 in 2025, with one award recorded for 2027, indicating steady engagement in federal research and service missions. Within the next twenty-four months, 196 awards carrying $8.8 million in potential value reach completion, presenting recompete exposure primarily in NSF research, NOAA cooperative agreements, and NASA science grants.
Concrete work spans veterinary diagnostics, space-grant education, coastal and marine research, and biomedical science. LSU holds a $25 million five-year Indefinite Delivery Contract with USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (awarded September 2026, completing September 2031) for National Animal Health Laboratory Network diagnostic testing services—culture isolation, immunoassay, molecular diagnostics including PCR and whole genome sequencing, and testing for endemic and foreign animal diseases. Recent delivery orders under this vehicle include a $50 thousand order for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza testing in Baton Rouge (awarded April 2026), $3 thousand for antimicrobial resistance testing in Ames, Iowa (March 2026), and $2.5 thousand orders for diagnostic testing support (September and May 2026). LSU also executed a $3.41 million cooperative agreement with NASA (awarded June 2025, completing June 2029) for the Louisiana Space Grant Opportunities in NASA STEM program, attracting diverse student populations to STEM through learning experiences connected to NASA's exploration mission. Grant work includes $1.62 million for Interplanetary Network modernization and automation (awarded April 2025, completing March 2027) and $2.33 million for CALET astroparticle physics extended operations (awarded January 2025, completing January 2029).
LSU's research portfolio reflects comprehensive land-grant missions: fundamental research in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering via NSF divisions (679 awards); coastal ecosystem restoration, water quality monitoring, and marine science via NOAA and Interior; infectious disease and biomedical research via NIH institutes; agricultural sciences and veterinary diagnostics via USDA; and space science and STEM workforce development via NASA. Service Contract Inventory reports minimal SCI-reportable activity—9 total records (3 prime, 6 sub) across FY2022–FY2025 with approximately 1 FTE average and $0 invoiced revenue, indicating that SCI-reportable federal service work is minimal relative to LSU's grants and research portfolio. The institution's corporate structure includes eleven named subsidiaries: LSU Agricultural Center, LSU Alexandria, LSU Shreveport, LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, and others, each contributing specialized capabilities in their respective domains.
No set-aside designations appear across the prime award footprint—all sample awards carry "No Set-Aside Used" markings—reflecting LSU's positioning as a full-and-open competitor on competitive merit. The institution does not operate as a subcontractor to major federal primes in the representative work shown; instead, it functions as the principal research performer and grant recipient, sometimes engaging other universities and research centers as subrecipients on multi-institutional grants but predominantly executing work in-house. Named federal partners include NASA (space-grant and astrophysics), USDA (veterinary services and agricultural research), NSF (research across all scientific domains), NIH (biomedical research), NOAA (coastal and marine science), and DoD (basic research).
