About the company
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a private nonprofit research university headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, operates as a prime contractor and recipient across federal research and education programs, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurement without small-business set-asides. MIT's federal footprint spans research, development, training, and educational services delivered through direct prime awards and subcontracts to national laboratories and other federal contractors.
MIT's research capability portfolio centers on fundamental and applied science and engineering across quantum computing, artificial intelligence, biomedical innovation, space exploration, advanced materials, climate science, and nuclear energy. Recent representative prime awards include a $52.961 million Other Transaction Agreement with the National Institutes of Health (awarded September 2026) for Safe Agrochemicals: New Generative AI Strategies to Reduce Health Impacts, applying generative AI to agrochemical safety assessment; a $10.091 million NIH OTA (February 2026) for the Self-Powered, Transmitting Lacrimal Artificial Sensor project under the OCULAB program; and a $3 million five-year cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (June 2026) to operate the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions, a physics-intelligence research hub spanning MIT, Harvard, Northeastern, and Tufts. MIT also executes extensive federal grant work in biomedical research, materials science, and earth systems modeling across the National Institutes of Health, NSF, and Department of Energy.
Customer concentration reflects MIT's role as a leading federal research institution. The top five funding agencies account for 44% of recent awards by count, led by the National Science Foundation (1,747 awards), the Department of the Navy (1,426 awards), and NASA Shared Services Center (1,032 awards, $252.7 million potential value). By dollar concentration, NASA Goddard Space Center tops the list with $257.3 million across 109 awards, followed closely by NASA Shared Services Center ($252.7 million, 1,032 awards), the Army RD&E Command ($229.9 million, 204 awards), and DARPA ($194.5 million, 218 awards). Within the next twenty-four months, 535 awards carrying $167.4 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion, establishing significant recompete exposure across space science, defense research, and basic research portfolios.
MIT holds positions on multiple indefinite-delivery vehicles anchoring its task-order work. The top parent vehicle is Navy IDC N0024409G0014 with 121 task orders valued at $30.2 million; additional vehicles include Air Force IDCs F1962885C0002 (46 task orders) and F1962880C0002 (41 task orders), and Navy N6227197G0026 (46 task orders, $3.9 million). A DARPA Other Transaction IDV with a $1.999 million ceiling supports advanced research and development across quantum computing, materials development, and artificial intelligence initiatives.
MIT operates predominantly as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) in full-and-open competition, with 6% of awards positioned as subcontractor work to national laboratories and other primes. Service Contract Inventory data shows MIT reported zero invoiced federal service revenue across fiscal years 2022–2025 on SCI-reportable contracts, with FTE activity ranging from 0.0 to 5.3 FTEs annually across 51 prime and 10 named subcontractor records—indicating that the vast bulk of MIT's federal work is research and education (contracts and grants outside the SCI reporting threshold) rather than service delivery. In subcontractor roles, MIT partners with national laboratory management contractors including Oak Ridge National Laboratory (UT-Battelle LLC), Los Alamos National Laboratory (Triad National Security), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (UC Regents), and Columbia University on specialized research initiatives. MIT also maintains corporate subsidiaries including The Engine Accelerator, Inc., and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology Centre, though the award data does not indicate subsidiary-specific contracting.
Activity has contracted sharply in 2026–2027 after sustained volume from 2023–2024 (461 and 574 awards respectively in FY2023 and FY2024), with only 274 awards in 2026 and 6 in calendar 2027 to date, likely reflecting data lag in federal award reporting systems. MIT's combined potential value across all awards totals $2.63 billion, but obligated dollars of $20.62 billion indicate substantial prior-year funding obligations. The institution competes across all NSF divisions, DoD and Army research portfolios, NASA science directorates, and NIH institutes without restriction to set-aside categories, positioning it as a strategic partner for civilian and defense research agencies pursuing advanced science and technology development.
