About Purdue Research Foundation

Purdue Research Foundation, a non-profit subsidiary of Purdue University headquartered in West Lafayette, Indiana, operates as a 100% prime federal contractor providing facility rental and meeting space services to the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Army, the Department of the Air Force, and the Defense Logistics Agency. The foundation holds no set-aside certifications and competes full-and-open across all awards.

The foundation's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Naval Sea Systems Command, which accounts for 209 awards (72% of recent activity by count and 64% by combined potential value of $5.8 million). The Department of the Navy more broadly, including the Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research and Naval Strategic Systems Programs, anchors the portfolio; the top five funding agencies collectively account for 685 awards and represent 72% of the award count. The Department of the Army (133 awards) and Department of the Air Force (106 awards) round out the defense customer set. Purdue Research Foundation carries no subcontract footprint—all 957 recent awards are prime.

The foundation's primary vehicle is a $1 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command established October 22, 2021, and expiring October 28, 2026. This BPA carries 186 task orders worth $367 thousand combined potential value and permits written orders up to $250,000 and verbal government purchase card orders up to $10,000. Performance occurs at Purdue's West Lafayette facilities, including the Westgate meeting and training center and Crane, Indiana locations supporting submarine and ship development work. Recent BPA calls include a $79,535.15 meeting venue award (September 2024), a $39,098.80 Annual Strategic Business Communications Meeting award (August 2025), and a $36,450 security services call for Westgate Academy (March 2026). The foundation also holds smaller vehicles: a 19-task-order BPA (N0016422A0002, $260 thousand), a 13-task-order Defense Logistics Agency Indefinite Delivery Contract, a 10-task-order Air Force Basic Ordering Agreement, and a 9-task-order Navy Indefinite Delivery Contract.

The work breakdown reflects the foundation's core mission. NAICS Facilities Support Services accounts for 222 awards; Lease/Rental of Conference Space and Facilities (PSC code) covers 214 awards. The remaining 15 awards reflect engineering and R&D consulting services (145 awards under R&D - Other Research and Development, 121 under R&D - Defense Other, 54 under General Science and Technology R&D Services). Activity has grown modestly from 1 award in 2022 to 9 in 2025, with 4 awards in 2026 to date. The foundation's combined potential value across all awards stands at $9.1 million, though obligated dollars total $81.1 million, indicating extensive prior-year execution. The single-award NAVSEA BPA expires October 28, 2026, representing the primary vehicle facing recompete risk in the next eighteen months.
