About the company
Samsat, doing business as San Antonio Museum Of Science And Technology, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in San Antonio, Texas, that acts as a federal grant recipient, not a federal contractor. The organization has received two prime federal grants totaling $1.557 million and holds three sub-grant awards from Research Triangle Institute, operating entirely in the federal grant space rather than on federal contracts or IDVs.
Samsat's federal footprint is small and recent. The organization has executed five total awards across all federal sources since November 2024, with combined dollars obligated of $1.9 million. Activity shows growth from one award in 2024 to three in 2025, with one award in 2026. Sixty percent of Samsat's awards sit in a sub-grant role under Research Triangle Institute, which holds the prime grants and issued three sub-awards to Samsat between January and June 2025.
The organization's prime grant work centers on museum-based education and STEM engagement. In September 2026, the Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded Samsat $1.157 million under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) for a two-year project through August 2028 to develop an open-source artificial intelligence platform called the AI Museum Studio (AMS). Samsat will build, prototype, test, and deploy AMS across ten exhibits at SAMSAT and the Doseum, a San Antonio children's museum, with simple customization tools designed to enable sharing with other museums nationwide. The project includes documentation, national outreach workshops, and conference presentations. Earlier, the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education funded a $399,251 project grant (CFDA 47.076) running through October 2027 to place 60 undergraduates, 75% from underserved populations, in R&D internships at SAMSAT, with mentorship from IEEE local chapters and exhibit development in advanced technology applications.
Samsat's customer base spans the Office of the Secretary of Defense (three awards), the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. One award reaches completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization operates as a sub-recipient on Department of Defense–related work through Research Triangle Institute, with no direct federal contracts or IDV vehicles.
