Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service

Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service, doing business as Teex, is a state government entity and 1862 Land Grant College division of the Texas A&M University System that delivers occupational safety and health training, emergency preparedness and response training, and specialized workforce development to federal agencies as a prime contractor (95% of awards) on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. Teex is headquartered in College Station, Texas and operates across primary NAICS categories in higher education and educational support services, with 400 recent federal awards spanning contracts, indefinite-delivery vehicles, and grants across 75 customer agencies.

Teex's capability portfolio centers on federal workforce training delivery. Concrete recent work includes a $348,330 delivery order from FEMA for development of standardized national-level functional training curricula to enhance National Urban Search and Rescue Response System participant skills (issued September 29, 2026 under GSA Multiple Award Schedule); a $1.07 million firm fixed-price contract from the U.S. Coast Guard for oil spill training courses covering calendar year 2026 (Option Period Three, originally awarded June 2, 2023); and recurring $7,000–$40,000 BPA calls from the Indian Health Service for occupational safety and health training including confined space hazards, excavation hazards, construction safety, and OSHA outreach instruction delivered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 60 active labor categories at hourly rates from $41.93 to $180.67, covering customer service and business coordination roles at lower-cost bands through project management and training director positions at higher-cost bands; all categories require no security clearance, with education requirements ranging from high school to bachelor's degree.

Customer concentration sits heavily with emergency preparedness and health-sector federal agencies. FEMA Incident Support Section leads by potential value at 51 awards worth $44.1 million combined. By award count, FEMA and its sub-offices account for a significant share, followed by the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (26 awards, $1.7 million potential value) and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (19 awards, $3.2 million potential value). The top customer by potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, carries $112.8 million across just 3 awards—a result of Teex's seated position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as a primary government-wide vehicle.

Teex's parent vehicle footprint emphasizes the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as the dominant contracting channel, with 106 task orders carrying $6.9 million combined potential value. An Indefinite Delivery Contract designated HSFE9013D0022 places 45 task orders worth $24 million in combined potential value. Additional vehicle positions include Law Enforcement & Security Services (28 task orders, $1.2 million), a single-award IDC with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives for educational services under Executive Order 14398 (five-year ceiling $565,000, effective August 19, 2026 through August 19, 2031), and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Indian Health Service against GSA Multiple Award Schedule ($1 million ceiling, performance through August 31, 2027).

Federal grant work forms a material portion of Teex's recent activity. Teex is a member of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium and holds a $20.84 million project grant from FEMA under the State and Local Homeland Security National Training Program (CFDA 97.005, awarded September 20, 2025, performance through September 19, 2028) to develop and deliver specialized emergency preparedness and response training. Additional recent grants include a $1.565 million project grant from FEMA for the National Urban Search and Rescue Response System (CFDA 97.025, awarded September 1, 2024, performance through August 31, 2027), a $727,882 project grant from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration under the Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants program (CFDA 20.703, awarded October 1, 2025, performance through September 30, 2026) for train-the-trainer instruction in hazardous materials, and a $575,000 project grant from FEMA under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program (CFDA 97.044, awarded September 30, 2025, performance through September 29, 2027). Teex also serves as a sub-recipient on multiple grant programs, delivering active shooter exercise development workshops under Texas State University primes on the Department of Justice Community Policing Development Program and cybersecurity training and course development under FEMA continuing-training grants.

Activity has remained relatively steady over the past five years at 9–22 awards annually, with 2023 marking peak volume at 22 awards. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $486 thousand across FY2022–FY2025, with approximately 0.1–0.4 FTEs deployed annually on those contracts; median government-paid hourly rates ran $163.31/hr on SCI prime records. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Teex performed 100% of contractor hours with no named subcontractors. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months carries minimal exposure: six awards with combined potential value of $682 thousand reach ultimate completion within that window.

Teex operates overwhelmingly as a prime contractor and primary recipient, with only 5% of recent awards (22 of 400) held as a subcontractor or sub-recipient role. Sub-award work has included research support services delivery to Leidos on Department of Energy contracts and training-support roles under FEMA and Department of Justice grants managed by Texas State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, and the Texas Division of Emergency Management. The vendor's federal training footprint is concentrated in FEMA and Indian Health Service customer relationships, with secondary exposure to the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy Installations Command, and the Texas National Guard for specialized rescue and hazmat training delivery.
