About the company
Texas Tech University System, operating as Texas Tech University, is a U.S. state-controlled public research institution and Hispanic-Serving Institution that acts as prime recipient and prime contractor on federal research grants and contracts spanning education, life sciences, materials science, engineering, and applied R&D. The institution competes full-and-open across all federal funding sources with no set-aside participation; recent activity shows 1,903 prime awards (92% of portfolio) and 160 sub-awards (8%), with combined potential value of $88.1 million across 2,063 total awards over the past five years. Recent annual activity has averaged approximately 105–140 prime awards per year, declining to 66 year-to-date in 2026.
Texas Tech University System's federal footprint is anchored in research and education. Concrete recent work includes a $6.836 million NASA Marshall Space Flight Center definitive contract (September 2026) to deliver a flight-qualified instrument measuring lunar subsurface heat flow; a $6 million Department of Defense Basic Scientific Research cooperative agreement (September 2024) for advanced semiconductor power devices; a $5.25 million Army R&D and Engineering Command cooperative agreement (June 2025) for semiconductor power device research; and a $370 thousand NASA Science grant (November 2024) for balanced science programs including Moon and Mars exploration. On education, the National Science Foundation awarded $2 million (October 2025) for semiconductor industry workforce scholarships targeting 36 low-income undergraduate scholars in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The institution also received a $1.54 million EPA Innovative Water Technology grant (November 2025) for scalable adsorbent technologies removing PFAS and other micropollutants from water.
Customer concentration is distributed across federal research agencies rather than concentrated by dollar value. The National Science Foundation leads by award count at 352 awards; NASA Shared Services Center ranks second with 139 awards and $12.3 million combined potential value; the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture delivered 67 awards; the Department of the Army issued 65 awards; and the Department of the Air Force accounts for 53 awards. These top five agencies represent 33% of the award count. By dollar concentration, NASA Shared Services Center, Army Materiel Command R&D and Engineering Command, and Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground carry the highest combined potential values ($12.3 million, $9 million, and $2.3 million respectively), representing 28% of total potential value.
Texas Tech University System holds positions on five named parent IDIQs and indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest vehicle by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract F0160079D0332, with 27 task orders valued at $500 thousand combined potential value. Five additional vehicles—F4962079C0191, F0860684C0027, DNA00185C0184, and W15P7T07DP040—carry 8, 7, 5, and 4 task orders respectively, with W15P7T07DP040 anchoring $4.9 million in combined potential value. The institution also holds a multi-billion-dollar Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035; an initial delivery order valued at five hundred dollars under this vehicle was issued the same date. This vehicle procures multi-domain defense systems capable of detecting and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats.
Activity has declined modestly in 2026 (66 awards to date versus 112 in 2025 and 140 in 2024), and 127 awards worth $9.8 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete pressure across a broad portfolio. The institution's research portfolio is characterized by heavy concentration in NAICS classification "Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools" (68 awards) and in PSC codes spanning R&D services, space science applications, and defense research. SCI-reportable service contract invoicing across FY2022–FY2025 totaled $3.3 million as prime contractor; median government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts run around $66.49/hr, with senior labor rates extending through $272.16/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, sub-hours share averaged 22%, with 8 named subcontractors supporting delivery. The institution operates as both prime and sub, with recent sub-work including participation in Auburn University canine detection research, Pantexas Deterrence LLC Pantex Plant operations support, and collaborations with universities on USDA, NSF, and NIH research projects. Sub-recipients under Texas Tech University grants include Texas A&M Agrilife Research, University of Florida, University of Oklahoma, Emory University, and others, reflecting the institution's role as research coordinating hub across multi-institution consortia.
