Northwestern University

Northwestern University is a private research university located in Chicago, Illinois that has established itself as a trusted educational partner for the federal government. The institution provides tuition and fees support to federal agencies, specifically serving the U.S. Department of the Navy's medical education and training initiatives. Through its partnership with the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Northwestern University delivers specialized educational services that support the professional development and continuing education of naval medical personnel.

Northwestern University's federal contract portfolio consists exclusively of delivery orders awarded by the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for the provision of tuition and fees spanning from June 2021 through December 2025. The institution has received eight documented delivery orders valued between $70,254 and $132,762, all structured as firm fixed-price contracts with no set-aside designations, indicating they were awarded through full and open competition. These contracts support Navy medical education objectives and continue a longstanding relationship between Northwestern University and the Bureau, with awards issued on a regular basis to cover tuition expenses during specified academic terms. Northwestern University serves as the prime contractor on all documented awards with no subcontractor involvement, and all contract performance occurs at the university's Chicago, Illinois campus. The consistent pattern of awards, coupled with the recurring nature of these tuition and fee contracts, demonstrates the Navy's confidence in Northwestern University's capability to support its medical personnel training and continuing education mission.
