Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service

Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service, doing business as Teex, a state government entity and 1862 Land Grant College affiliated with the Texas A&M University System, delivers occupational safety and health training, emergency preparedness and response training, and specialized workforce development to federal agencies as a prime contractor (94% of awards) across a full-and-open (non-set-aside) posture. Teex is headquartered in College Station, Texas, and operates under primary NAICS codes in higher education and educational support services.

Teex's federal work splits sharply between contracts and grants. On the contract side, the vendor delivers OSHA-compliant occupational safety and health training—confined space rescue, excavation hazards, and construction safety instruction—predominantly to the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service through a $1 million Blanket Purchase Agreement under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with individual task orders ranging from roughly $7,000 to $40,000; representative awards include a $19,927 BPA call for two confined space hazards training sessions in March and May 2025 and a $30,495 OSHA outreach training call issued in December 2024. Teex also delivers emergency response and disaster management training to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, including urban search and rescue training course development and delivery ($83,138 delivery order, November 2023), structural collapse specialist training, and learning management system hosting and technical support (multiple delivery orders and BPA calls totaling over $300,000 in recent awards). The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $1.07 million definitive contract for oil spill training courses spanning 2023 through 2026, and the Navy Installations Command has placed delivery orders for confined space rescue and ropes rescue training. On the grant side, Teex acts as a prime recipient of substantial federal training and emergency preparedness grants, most notably a $20.84 million State and Local Homeland Security National Training Program award from FEMA (CFDA 97.005) supporting National Domestic Preparedness Consortium membership through September 2028, a $1.54 million National Urban Search and Rescue Response System grant (CFDA 97.025) running through August 2028, a $575,000 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (CFDA 97.044) through September 2027, and a $727,882 Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants award (CFDA 20.703) for hazardous materials instructor training through September 2026. Teex also receives State Fire Training System grants and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration funding for first responder peer-support training.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward federal emergency management and health agencies. From the top five customers by award count, FEMA Incident Support accounts for 51 awards ($44.1 million combined potential value), followed by FEMA proper (50 awards, $1.2 million), Indian Health Service (26 awards, $1.7 million), the U.S. Coast Guard (19 awards, $3.2 million), and FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance (44 awards). By potential value, however, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the portfolio with 3 awards carrying $112.8 million in combined potential value—reflecting the multi-year, high-ceiling nature of FEMA's National Domestic Preparedness Consortium funding. This divergence signals that Teex wins many small training task orders (under $50,000) across multiple FEMA-related work streams while commanding substantial multi-year grant allocations for consortium-level emergency preparedness delivery.

Teex places work against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (105 task orders, $6.5 million combined potential value) and holds positions under FEMA Indefinite Delivery Contracts HSFE9013D0022 (45 task orders, $24 million combined potential value) and Law Enforcement & Security Services vehicles (28 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months carries minimal risk: only 6 awards totaling $365,000 in combined potential value face completion within that window.

Activity has remained steady with some recent modulation: Teex earned 17 awards in 2022, peaked at 22 in 2023, dropped to 16 in 2024, declined to 9 in 2025, and shows 3 awards in 2026 to date. This reflects the grant-heavy nature of the portfolio—large multi-year federal training grants issued infrequently rather than sustained annual task-order volume. Service Contract Inventory captures only a narrow slice of Teex's federal services work (4 SCI-reportable records spanning FY2022–FY2024, totaling $365,000 invoiced as a prime). Across those SCI records, Teex staffed roughly 0.3–0.4 FTEs per fiscal year at government-paid hourly rates clustering around $163–$168 per hour, with no subcontractor engagement reported on SCI-covered prime contracts.

Teex operates as a 94% prime and 6% sub contractor. On the sub side, the vendor performs research support services and training work under Leidos (two research support services modifications in July 2024) and subcontracts to prime grantees including Texas State University (active shooter exercise development workshops under COPS Office Community Policing Development grants) and the University of Texas at Arlington (NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership work). As a recipient of federal grants, Teex also flows sub-awards to other training and research organizations, including the National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance, Texas Division of Emergency Management, and universities conducting supporting technical work.
