About the company
Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education, doing business as Temple University, is a nonprofit research institution headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that receives federal funding as a prime recipient of research grants and, in limited cases, as a subcontractor to larger primes on federal research projects. As a state-controlled institution of higher learning, Temple competes without set-aside designations across a broad portfolio spanning basic research, applied research, and educational programming, with 83 percent of recent awards held as prime positions and 17 percent as sub-awards.
Temple's federal footprint is almost entirely grant-funded, concentrated in research awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH), and agency sub-components including the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, National Institute of Mental Health, and National Institute on Drug Abuse. Recent awards cluster in biomedical and health sciences research (investigating topics from cardiac lymphangiogenesis and Alzheimer's disease to cannabidiol for chemotherapy-induced neuropathy), fundamental sciences (materials physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology), engineering and applied sciences (battery materials, wireless networks, nanostructured oxides), and educational programming including STEM workforce development and curriculum innovation. The institution also holds a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Naval Medical Command (Bureau of Medicine and Surgery) established May 2026, permitting future task orders for educational and clinical support services with no funds obligated to date.
Temple's customer base spans 185 federal agencies, but concentration is narrow. The top five customers by award count—NSF, NIH, NHLBI, NIMH, and NIDA—account for 37 percent of the award portfolio. However, potential-value concentration is even tighter: NHLBI alone accounts for $8.1 million across 144 awards, while NASA Shared Services Center contributes $4.6 million across 27 awards. In contrast, the Department of the Navy appears in 63 awards but represents only $376 thousand in combined potential value, reflecting the high volume of low-dollar education and tuition delivery orders for active-duty personnel.
Temple competes predominantly full-and-open; no set-aside designations appear in the award record. The institution operates as a prime on research grants and occasionally as a subcontractor to other research institutions (including the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Columbia University, and others) where Temple researchers contribute specialized expertise—metabolomics analysis, computational methodology, biomarker development, or experimental validation—to multi-institutional consortia. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Temple shows minimal activity: three records spanning FY2024–FY2025, all in subcontractor roles, with 2.7 FTEs in FY2024 and 2.3 FTEs in FY2025. This reflects Temple's orientation toward research grants and educational delivery rather than managed service contracting.
Temple's corporate structure includes four named subsidiaries: Temple University Hospital, Inc.; Temple University Health System Inc. (the clinical delivery arm anchoring grants in health services research, patient-centered outcomes, and clinical trial participation); Temple Educational Support Services, LTD. (a for-profit entity likely supporting non-federal training and consulting); and Temple University (a for-profit subsidiary supporting contracts and grants administration).
The recompete cliff signals 186 awards completing within the next 24 months, representing a significant opportunity for competitors to displace Temple on renewals; however, the award dates in the source material (concentrated in 2025–2026, with only two awards dated 2027) suggest that the portfolio snapshot reflects institutional capacity as of mid-2026 rather than forward pipeline visibility. Temple's federal presence is substantial in research volume but highly specialized—a major recipient of NIH and NSF fundamental research funding, a clinical trial site and health services research collaborator, and a stable partner in multi-institutional consortia, but not a prime contractor on large service-delivery vehicles or managed IT/professional services platforms.
