About the company
Texas A&M University, a public 1862 land-grant institution headquartered in College Station, Texas, operates as a prime recipient on federal research grants and contracts across 199 distinct customer agencies, competing in full-and-open federal funding without SBA set-aside designation. The university does not hold federal prime contracts but receives direct federal awards as a research institution and educational entity delivering research services, training, and scholarly output to civilian and defense agencies.
Texas A&M's federal footprint is anchored in research and development services across the physical, engineering, and life sciences. Recent representative work includes a $1 million Department of Homeland Security delivery order on cross-border threats screening and supply chain defense research (2025), a $336 thousand CDC order for aptamer development supporting Executive Order 14398 biosurveillance initiatives (2026), and a $600 thousand DHS Science and Technology Directorate delivery order for metagenomics research supporting biosurveillance (2026). The university also holds a $45 million Basic Ordering Agreement with DHS S&T Directorate for border security research, with task orders ranging from $200 thousand to over $1.2 million covering border security threat assessment, cross-border screening, supply chain defense, and African Swine Fever Virus research. The BOA structure permits issuance of orders through June 2031 under firm fixed-price and cost-no-fee pricing. On the grant side, Texas A&M is a major recipient across NSF (477 awards), NASA Shared Services Center (219 awards, $49.8 million combined potential value), and DOE Office of Science programs, with recent significant awards including a $5 million NSF Scholarships in STEM grant supporting 75 low-income engineering students (2025), a $2.214 million National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute award investigating GPI-anchor biosynthesis in sleep regulation (2025), and a $2.136 million NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program award (2026).
Customer concentration by award count is diffuse—NSF dominates with 477 awards, followed by NASA Shared Services Center with 219 awards—but potential-value concentration is tighter: NASA Shared Services Center anchors 30% of combined potential value across 44% of awards. This concentration reflects a portfolio mix of high-volume small awards (NSF research grants typically sub-million) and larger single awards (DHS BOA task orders, NIH/NHLBI grants in the $640 thousand to $2.2 million range). The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9, Department of Army Medical Command, and NOAA round out the top five customer agencies by potential value.
On service contract reporting, SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $10.7 million across FY2022–FY2025 (prime contracts only), with FY2025 invoicing of $5.9 million on 18.4 FTEs. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates span from a 10th percentile of $34.32/hr to a median of $56.59/hr, reflecting the university's research and technical labor cost structure. Subcontractors account for roughly 27% of contractor hours on average across prime contracts, with seven named subcontractors reported, indicating the university builds delivery teams using both internal capacity and sub-vendor relationships.
The university operates as recipient on federal grants—not as a prime contractor in the traditional sense—and does not subcontract as a fee-for-service provider to other federal contractors on the award footprint shown. Sub-award activity reflects research consortia and collaborative relationships: Texas A&M participates as a sub-recipient on grants from Arizona State University (Irregular Warfare Center Research Support), the University of Washington (stream biogeochemistry and carbon assessment), Colorado State University (high-power laser modeling), and other academic and national laboratory primes. The university's research scope spans biosurveillance and border security, oceanography, climate science, neuroscience, artificial intelligence and machine learning, energy research, materials science, and educational innovation. Recent activity shows 2,318 total awards (prime and sub, all sources) with $192.4 million combined potential value and $2.16 billion combined dollars obligated; 194 awards face completion within the next 24 months, creating recompete exposure of $22.3 million. The institutional posture is that of a premier federal research university competing broadly across disciplinary boundaries and federal science funding mechanisms without enterprise-level emphasis on any single contract vehicle or customer agency.
