About the company
National Institute Of Statistical Sciences, a Durham, North Carolina-based non-profit research organization, serves federal agencies as a prime contractor and grant recipient in advanced statistical research, survey methodology, and quantitative program evaluation, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
NISS operates primarily as a prime award recipient (100% of awards), accumulating 99 total federal awards since 1993 with a combined potential value of $2.01 billion, though only $16.1 million has been obligated to date — a reflection of the organization's substantial position on indefinite-delivery vehicles and education-research grant programs with multi-year option periods and task-order-based execution. The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward a single customer: the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences accounts for 17 awards and $2.01 billion of the combined potential value (essentially the entire portfolio ceiling). The next four customers—the Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (12 awards, $3.5 million), the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (11 awards, $170 thousand), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (11 awards, $409 thousand), and the National Science Foundation (7 awards)—account for 59% of award count but only a small fraction of potential dollars, indicating that IES anchors NISS's federal engagement.
NISS holds a seat on the Procurement of Research Evaluation and Statistics Task Orders (PRESTO) multiple-award IDIQ with the Institute of Education Sciences, awarded February 28, 2023, and running through February 27, 2028, with a $2 billion ceiling. The organization also places task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (5 task orders, $3.6 million combined potential value), the National Cooperative Education Statistics Systems (3 task orders, $8.3 million), and a Bureau of Labor Statistics BPA. Recent prime work includes a $1.98 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the National Agricultural Statistics Service (September 30, 2026, running through September 29, 2030) for statistical research support services, and an $85 thousand delivery order from the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary (September 29, 2026–June 28, 2027) for statistical advice and assistance, both issued under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.
On the grant side, NISS received a project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences (awarded August 15, 2024, completing August 31, 2026) to host and facilitate its annual Writing Workshop for Junior Researchers, a hybrid professional-development program serving 35 early-career statisticians with mentorship from senior researchers and journal editors. Activity in recent years has been sparse—two awards in 2026, one in 2024, one in 2023, and one in 2021—reflecting the multi-year maturity of the PRESTO vehicle and existing grant-cycle rhythm rather than sustained year-over-year growth. GSA Schedule labor offerings span 13 categories at hourly rates from $107.99 to $362.41, covering computer support, senior executive assistants, research associates, research fellows with PhDs in statistics and quantitative methodology, and director-level roles; no security-cleared positions are offered.
