New Jersey Sports & Exposition

New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority, doing business as Njsea, is an other-not-for-profit government entity based in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on environmental research, conservation, and regional safety planning in the New Jersey Meadowlands. The organization does not hold federal contracts or IDVs as a prime contractor and does not appear on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-funded work as a prime recipient (82% of recent awards) and occasional sub-recipient on collaborative research agreements.

Njsea's customer base concentrates on environmental and infrastructure agencies. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 anchors the relationship with 7 awards accounting for the plurality of recent grant work, followed by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration with 3 awards and the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences with 2 awards. The agency's primary grant work spans wetland science, regional safety planning, and climate resilience. Representative prime grants include a $251,836 Safe Streets and Roads for All program award from FHWA (CFDA 20.939), executed September 2, 2026, to develop supplemental plans and implement demonstration safety projects across the Meadowlands region through September 2, 2030; a $334,594 Regional Wetland Program Development Grants award from EPA Region 2 (CFDA 66.461), executed May 1, 2024, to quantify the movement of legacy contaminants between river sediments and marsh surfaces in the New Jersey Meadowlands through April 30, 2027; and an earlier EPA Region 2 cooperative agreement (executed April 1, 2024, ultimate completion March 31, 2026) for baseline documentation and modeling of the Sawmill Creek Wildlife Management Area to assess climate vulnerability and inform future marsh restoration. As a sub-recipient, Njsea participates in collaborative research on soil mineral weathering in estuarine wetlands under Rutgers sub-agreements and on habitat monitoring and restoration of the Riverbend Marsh under a Hudson River Foundation sub-award.

The organization reports 17 total awards spanning the last five years, with activity concentrated in 2021 (3 awards), 2023 and 2024 (3 awards each), and 2026 (2 awards). The portfolio shows a modest recompete exposure: awards with ultimate completion dates through September 2027 account for significant potential recompete activity. Njsea operates exclusively in the grant-recipient space rather than the contract marketplace and does not compete under federal contract set-asides or on government-wide acquisition vehicles.
