Philadelphia College Of Osteopathic Medicine

Philadelphia College Of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), doing business as Phil Colg Of Osteopathic Med, is a non-profit medical school that provides tuition and fees for specialized medical education and training programs to the Department of the Navy as a prime recipient of federal contracts and grants, operating without set-aside designation.

PCOM is a tax-exempt corporate entity headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, competing in full-and-open federal contracting rather than under any SBA set-aside category. The institution operates primarily as a prime contractor and grant recipient (96% of recent awards), with minimal subcontracting or sub-grant activity (4%). PCOM's federal footprint centers on PSC Education/Training—Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees (103 awards) and NAICS Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (76 awards), reflecting its core mission as a medical education provider.

PCOM's federal customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, which accounts for 62 awards totaling $20.1 million in combined potential value — representing 81% of the award count across all customers. The second-largest Navy customer (listed separately as Department of the Navy rather than Bureau of Medicine and Surgery) placed 30 awards valued at $1.8 million combined. This two-Navy concentration of 92 awards valued at $21.9 million comprises nearly the entire active federal footprint. All other agencies—the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration, the Department of the Air Force, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4—account for negligible volume and dollar value.

PCOM's contract work flows through Navy indefinite delivery vehicles, primarily an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0014098G2514) with 66 task orders valued at $20.5 million combined potential value, and a series of Basic Ordering Agreements including N0060085G1780 (15 task orders), F3360076A0404 (6 task orders), and N0018925GZ015 (5 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value) extending through February 2035. Individual delivery orders represent firm fixed-price tuition and fees ranging from approximately $38,737 to $408,836 per task, issued quarterly to align with academic terms (spring, summer, fall, winter). Recent representative awards include a $337,297 delivery order for spring 2026 tuition (awarded December 10, 2025), a $408,836 delivery order for fall 2025 tuition (awarded June 26, 2025), and a $114,683 delivery order for spring 2026 (awarded March 26, 2026).

PCOM's grant portfolio includes prime recipient work from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke on biomedical research in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), including a project grant running through December 31, 2029 investigating CD38's therapeutic potential and a prior project grant on zebrafish modeling (awarded September 11, 2023, running through August 31, 2026). PCOM also received a $1,261,130 Department of Education Education Stabilization Fund project grant (CFDA 84.425) for graduate student financial aid related to coronavirus relief (July 31, 2021 through July 31, 2022). PCOM acts as a sub-recipient on grant work coordinated by Emory University (GA Gear Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program, three sub-awards in 2023–2025), Rutgers University School of Osteopathic Medicine (Project OTTO overdose treatment access, December 2023), and The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (postpartum smoking relapse prevention, May 2026).

Activity has been stable at 4–9 awards per year over the past five years, with minimal recompete exposure (only one award completing within the next twenty-four months). Combined obligated dollars ($49.2 million) exceed combined potential value ($21.9 million), indicating significant carryover invoicing from prior Navy task orders against the standing BOAs. PCOM's federal footprint is virtually synonymous with Navy medical education funding and represents recurring tuition revenue tied to Navy officer medical training at the institution.
