The University Of Texas At Austin

The University of Texas at Austin, operating through its Texas Executive Education division, delivers executive leadership training and professional development courses to federal defense agencies primarily as a prime contractor (87% of recent awards) under firm-fixed-price delivery orders and blanket purchase agreements, with no set-aside designations across its portfolio.

Texas Executive Education is a division of the University of Texas at Austin, a state-controlled public research institution headquartered in Austin, Texas. The division's federal footprint concentrates on executive education and leadership development services to Department of Defense entities and special operations commands. All work is performed in Austin, Texas, on a full-and-open competitive basis with no SBA set-asides. Recent awards span Education/Training PSC codes under NAICS 611210 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training).

The vendor's customer base skews heavily toward special operations and defense audit personnel. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 87% of recent awards, led by the United States Special Operations Command (13 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value) and the Defense Contract Audit Agency (5 awards, $2.7 million combined potential value). The Department of the Navy Naval Special Warfare Command, the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, and the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations round out the active set. The rankings diverge on dollar concentration — DCAA dominates potential value despite placing fewer orders, anchored by a $1.953 million indefinite delivery contract for the Director's Development Program in Leadership (DDPL) and multiple $124,000–$154,000 delivery orders for "Political Savvy Course" instruction through November 2025. USSOCOM places higher-volume calls against a $1 million blanket purchase agreement and a Basic Ordering Agreement (H9224024G0008) with multiple task orders valued at roughly $2,000–$45,000 each.

Texas Executive Education holds three primary parent vehicles: a $1.953 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (4 task orders, $546 thousand combined value), a $1 million blanket purchase agreement with USSOCOM (10 task orders, $110 thousand combined value), and a Basic Ordering Agreement with USSOCOM (5 task orders, $32 thousand combined value). Representative prime work includes a $154,225 delivery order from DCAA for the Political Savvy Course (awarded September 2024), two Naval Special Warfare Command delivery orders in March 2026 for one and two executive education courses ($2,345 and $10,290 respectively), and a $27,720 BPA call from USSOCOM for an "Advocacy, Influence & Power Course" (January 2023). Course offerings center on strategic decision-making, political acumen, leadership approach and style, human biases in decision-making, and organizational effectiveness tailored to military and defense personnel.

Activity has contracted materially from 2023 (9 awards) to 2025 (3 awards) and into 2026 (2 awards), though this reflects completion cycles rather than pipeline loss — the vendor holds long-standing relationships with DCAA and USSOCOM dating back to 2021. Only one award ($2 thousand ceiling value) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in that window. In its secondary role as a sub-recipient, Texas Executive Education participates in National Institutes of Health KL2 career-development grants through the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, supporting translational research scientist development in epidemiology and behavioral health, and partners as a sub-awardee with Bluebonnet Sequestration Hub, LLC on carbon sequestration subsurface analysis and monitoring protocol development.
