New York Institute Of Technology

New York Institute of Technology, doing business as NYIT, a tax-exempt private nonprofit educational institution headquartered in Old Westbury, New York, operates as a federal grant recipient (98% of recent awards as prime recipient) and prime contractor for educational services, medical training support, and applied research across civilian and defense agencies. NYIT does not compete under set-aside categories and operates predominantly full-and-open across both contract and grant portfolios.

NYIT's federal footprint centers on tuition assistance, medical education support, and research services. The Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery dominates the contract side, accounting for 75 awards valued at $12.8 million combined potential value, all delivered under two standing basic ordering agreements (N0018910GZ019 with 40 task orders generating $6 million combined potential value, and N0018920GZ011 with 18 task orders generating $6.9 million). These delivery orders fund tuition and fees for medical education and training programs supporting military personnel, with firm fixed-price awards typically in the $35 thousand to $634 thousand range per order, performed at NYIT's Old Westbury, New York and Arkansas campuses. On the research and development side, NYIT received a $83,450 sole-source purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center in October 2026 for prototyping and technology transfer services, requiring NYIT to develop minimally viable prototypes of 5-7 patented NASA technologies, recruit and manage student teams, and deliver working demonstration prototypes with supporting documentation and post-delivery support through October 2027.

Grant activity is substantial and diversified. NYIT serves as prime recipient on 233 grants across 50 distinct federal agencies. The National Science Foundation is the second-largest funding source by award count (20 awards), supporting computational research, engineering, and STEM workforce development. NYIT received a $2.506 million Department of Education FIPSE grant in January 2026 for "Tech Talks: Promoting Civil Discourse at New York Tech," a four-year institutional reform project running through December 2029. Recent NIH research awards include a $573,750 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute grant for investigating lysosomal dysfunction in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, a $459,000 NINDS grant for studying molecular layer heterotopia in neurodevelopmental disorders, and a $459,000 National Cancer Institute grant examining microRNA 34/449 in choroid plexus carcinoma. The Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded $106,395 under the Information Security Grants program (CFDA 12.902) for the Department of War Cyber Service Academy scholarship initiative, distributing funds to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing cybersecurity degrees. NSF Engineering grants fund applied research including $430,826 for developing quantitative sensing technologies to evaluate fine motor skills in autistic children, $192,150 for stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte maturation using lab-on-chip technology, and $250,000 for an REU Site on computing and engineering for safe and healthy digital environments. NYIT's research grant portfolio spans cardiovascular disease mechanisms, cancer biology, neurodegenerative disease, quantum computing, and climate resilience.

NYIT's award activity has grown modestly in recent years—six awards in 2022 to 12 in 2026—with 19 awards (combined potential value $319 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value across all 237 awards stands at $15 million, though obligated dollars total $107.9 million, reflecting the institution's invoiced revenue substantially exceeding formal award ceilings. In its limited subcontractor role, NYIT performs specialized research and development work as a sub-recipient on grants from Baylor University (spectrum conference funding and NIH collaborative projects) and Weill Cornell Medical College (direct LC-MS-based RNA sequencing technology development under a five-year NIH award).

NYIT's capability portfolio is grounded in the institution's identity as a research and teaching university with engineering, health sciences, and computing programs serving military medical education, federal research priorities in biomedical science and advanced computing, and undergraduate research opportunities aligned with national STEM workforce development. The institution holds no federal contract IDVs and does not serve as a commercial prime contractor under government-wide vehicles, confining its role to task orders against standing agreements with the Navy and sporadic sole-source awards from civilian research agencies. Across both contract and grant work, NYIT demonstrates sustained engagement with defense health and civilian research communities, positioning it as a specialized provider of educational services and investigator-initiated basic and applied research rather than as a systems integrator or commercial services vendor.
