Regents Of The University Of Minnesota

Regents Of The University Of Minnesota, a public land-grant research institution headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operating through its Office of Student Finance Division (doing business as Fairview Orthotics And Prosthetics), provides tuition and educational services to federal personnel as a prime contractor on Navy delivery orders and as a sub-recipient on federal grants managed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and other state and federal entities. The university is a U.S. government entity classified as a state government and 1862 land grant college, competing without set-aside designations across full-and-open federal procurement.

The university's federal contract footprint centers on Navy educational support. Department of the Navy customers account for 84% of combined potential value across recent awards: the Naval Education and Training Command leads with 40 awards valued at $6.5 million combined potential value, the Bureau of Naval Personnel holds 22 awards at $2.7 million combined potential value, and the Department of the Navy proper accounts for 16 awards at $1 million combined potential value. Representative recent delivery orders include $229,204.82 for Spring 2026 NROTC midshipmen tuition and fees (Department of the Navy, awarded March 5, 2026), $216,159.99 for Spring 2026 NROTC midshipmen tuition and allowable fees (Bureau of Naval Personnel, awarded March 4, 2026), and $212,000 for Fall 2025 NROTC midshipmen tuition and allowable fees (Bureau of Naval Personnel, awarded September 30, 2025). These delivery orders operate under a Basic Ordering Agreement established in September 2019 with total potential value exceeding $1.5 million; the Navy has issued approximately 25 firm fixed-price delivery orders under this BOA between 2021 and 2025. The university's top two parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contract N0014006G0066 (39 task orders, $5.9 million combined potential value) and Basic Ordering Agreement N0018919GZ056 (29 task orders, $3.7 million combined potential value), both with the Department of the Navy.

The university holds a sub-award position on a microelectronics sensor technology transition program under BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (awarded April 4, 2024). Federal grant sub-awards flow primarily through the Minnesota Department of Human Services under federal block grants and categorical programs supporting foster care, family services, child care administration, refugee assistance, and mental health services; the university also holds a sub-award on the Data Coordinating Center for Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet from the University of South Florida and a genetics leadership role under the Michigan Public Health Institute's Maternal and Genetics Network (awarded June 1, 2023).

Activity has declined year over year — 34 awards in 2022 to five in 2026 through mid-July — though recent awards remain concentrated in Navy tuition assistance. The combined potential value across all 285 prime and sub awards totals $12.9 million, though combined dollars obligated ($98.8 million) exceed this by a factor of 7.7, reflecting the university's long-standing relationship with the Department of the Navy and substantial historical billing under these educational service agreements. The university's category concentration is dominated by colleges, universities, and professional schools (107 awards) and education/training tuition and registration fees (102 awards under PSC), with subordinate engagement in waste collection, landscaping services, and professional development training across federal and state partners.
