Prince George's Community College

Prince George's Community College, a non-profit, state-controlled minority-serving institution headquartered in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, operates as a federal grant recipient and contract awardee delivering STEM education, workforce development, and occupational training programs to civilian and defense agencies. The college serves approximately 24,000 students annually across more than 200 credit and noncredit programs and does not compete under set-aside categories; all recent federal awards are full-and-open or cooperative agreements.

The college's federal footprint is dominated by grant work (71% of prime awards) spanning workforce development, STEM curriculum enhancement, and academic support services. Top grantor agencies by award count are the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (16 awards), the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (6 awards), and the National Science Foundation (5 awards). Recent representative grants include a $1.19 million cooperative agreement with a civilian federal agency (closing September 30, 2026) to establish STEM majors; a $874,000 Department of Labor Community Project Funding grant for workforce development (running through June 30, 2028); a $440,388 Department of Education TRIO Student Support Services grant for disadvantaged student support (CFDA 84.042, ending August 31, 2026); and a $971,527 nursing-program infrastructure expansion grant from the Department of Health and Human Services. The college also received a $1.65 million National Science Foundation STEM Education grant (CFDA 47.076) for the National Cyberwatch Resource Center and multiple Department of Labor and Department of Education grants for commercial driver license training, cybersecurity education, and Upward Bound / Veterans' Upward Bound programming.

Dollar concentration sits with the Department of the Navy, which holds an indefinite delivery contract valued at $147.1 million under the United States Naval Community College Partnerships program extending through July 2025 and anchoring potential value across the entire portfolio. Two small purchase orders from the Navy (theater rental, $41,400 and $0 ceiling value) represent the only Navy task orders invoiced against the vehicle to date. The college's sub-award footprint includes grant receipts from the Maryland State Department of Education (Perkins career-technical education formula funds, vocational rehabilitation), Morgan State University (BRIDGE to the Baccalaureate sub-awards), Research Triangle Institute (evaluation subcontracts), and the University of Maryland College Park (economics programming).

Activity has accelerated sharply: one award in 2022 grew to four in 2023, five in 2024, and fourteen in 2025, with strong recent momentum across NSF, DOL, and DOE grantmaking. Six awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and trigger recompete opportunity. The college's capability portfolio emphasizes STEM curriculum design and implementation, occupational skills training (nursing, commercial driving, cybersecurity), student support services for disadvantaged and nontraditional students, and workforce development partnerships with Maryland state agencies. Performance is executed primarily at the Upper Marlboro main campus, with satellite delivery through Hyattsville and Laurel college centers.
