About the company
Scistarter LLC operates as a sub-recipient on National Science Foundation and NASA grants focused on informal science education and family engagement in STEM, with a smaller prime-grant footprint anchored to NSF. The company is a woman-owned small business (WOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business (SDB) structured as a limited liability partnership based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Scistarter's federal footprint is nascent and grant-focused, with no contract prime awards on record. The vendor holds one prime cooperative agreement from NASA's Shared Services Center awarded in February 2026 (ultimate completion January 2029), and three sub-grant awards from Oregon State University executed between January 2024 and May 2025 under NSF's Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings. The three OSU sub-awards support "The Circuit," a research and access platform for family and adult participation in informal science. Combined obligated dollars across all four awards total $456 thousand, with all customer activity routed through the National Science Foundation (two awards under the Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings, one under the Division of Polar Programs) and NASA. The vendor serves three distinct federal agencies, and the funding agency distribution encompasses the full universe of Scistarter's recent federal activity.
Activity has accelerated modestly — one award in 2024 to two in 2025 — with the most recent award dated February 2026. The prime-vs-sub split indicates the vendor operates predominantly as a subcontractor (75% of recent awards) to university research primes, principally Oregon State University. Service Contract Inventory data show minimal SCI-reportable engagement: two SCI records spanning FY2022 through FY2024, both in a named-subcontractor role with less than one FTE of delivered federal services labor across the period, indicating that Scistarter's grant sub-work does not consistently cross the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or that much of the vendor's federal services activity falls outside SCI's scope. The vendor has not held a federal contract prime award in the source data period and does not appear on any named government-wide acquisition contract, IDIQ, or BPA vehicle. Scistarter's capability framing derives entirely from its grant role: informal science education platform design and research on family participation in STEM learning activities, delivered through research collaborations rather than traditional federal service contracting.
