About the company
Robotics Education And Competition Foundation, Inc., doing business as Rec Foundation, is a non-profit organization based in Greenville, Texas, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants and cooperative agreements to fund STEM robotics competitions and education programs. The organization does not compete as a prime contractor on federal contracts; instead, it receives purchase orders and cooperative agreements from federal agencies to cover registration fees and program costs for robotics competitions and STEM workforce development initiatives. Rec Foundation operates in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
Rec Foundation's federal work centers on hands-on robotics education delivered through team-based competitions where students design, build, and program robots to solve technical challenges. The organization functions as a STEM education organizer and program administrator rather than a traditional service contractor. Representative awards include a $4.96 million cooperative agreement from NASA (award date October 21, 2024, completion October 20, 2029) to support robotics competition and education programs aligned with NASA's workforce development goals; a $248,400 purchase order from the Army Recruiting Command (award date May 9, 2025, completion May 11, 2025) covering registration fees for the HQ JROTC VEX Robotics World Championship; and a $96,000 purchase order from Army Recruiting Command (award date January 25, 2026, completion January 26, 2026) for registration fees for 100 Army Junior ROTC teams at the VEX National Robotics Competition in Sandusky, Ohio. The organization also holds a completed award from the Office of Naval Research for fostering naval STEM workforce through robotics education (award date August 2, 2021, completion August 1, 2024).
NASA dominates Rec Foundation's customer concentration, accounting for seven awards totaling $11.9 million in combined potential value and representing 88% of recent awards by count and 100% of combined potential value across the top customer set. The Army Recruiting Command follows with two awards ($344 thousand combined potential value), the Office of the Secretary of Defense with three awards (dollar amount unspecified in ranking), and the Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs with one award. A second Department of Army office (Headquarters Office of the Secretary) placed two awards ($97 thousand combined potential value). Activity has been episodic — one award each in 2021 and 2022, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with combined potential value of $12.4 million across seventeen total awards. Rec Foundation also operates as a sub-recipient under Research Triangle Institute on three federal grant sub-awards (award dates December 17, 2024, February 5, 2025, and March 7, 2022). The organization's primary NAICS framing is convention and trade show organizing (four awards), with secondary work in space science R&D, education and training registration fees, and conference facility rental.
