About George Washington University (The)

The George Washington University, a private nonprofit research university and educational institution headquartered in Washington, DC, acts as a prime recipient and contractor across federal contracts and grants, delivering medical education, clinical training, research services, and specialized consulting to civilian and defense agencies without set-aside designations.

GWU operates as a pure prime contractor (93% of recent awards) across a highly diversified federal agency customer base, with no significant subcontracting footprint (7% of awards are sub-awards). The university's federal mission spans three dominant capability areas: educational services (tuition, resident staffing, professional development training), scientific research (basic and applied biomedical and engineering science), and specialized medical consultation. Recent representative work includes a $1.945 million firm fixed-price contract with the U.S. Secret Service awarded July 2025 for delivery of a Law Enforcement Responder-Emergency Medical Responder Course; a $7.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases effective May 2025 for medical residents at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland through May 2030; and a $2.2 million delivery order with the Bureau of Naval Personnel awarded December 2024 for NROTC midshipmen tuition ratification. GWU also holds a $7.5 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (Department of Defense) dating to April 2025 through April 2035, authorizing delivery orders for medical research, training, technological development, consulting, and educational services. The university competes full-and-open across all customer agency procurements; no small-business or other set-aside designations appear in the recent contract portfolio.

Customer concentration is moderate and diffuse across 271 distinct federal agencies. The top five customers by award count account for roughly 31% of recent awards: NSF (450 awards), Department of the Navy general (359 awards), Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (248 awards), NASA Shared Services Center (175 awards), and NIH general (165 awards). By combined potential value, GWU's concentration tilts toward GSA (64 awards, $498.4 million combined potential value), NIH National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (78 awards, $46.7 million), Naval Education and Training Command (100 awards, $34.9 million), NASA (175 awards, $21 million), and NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (89 awards, $15.7 million). The gap between the two rankings signals that award count concentrates in NSF and Navy customer base (many smaller research grants and tuition payments), while dollar concentration anchors in GSA and NIH facilities-related contracts.

GWU places task orders primarily under four named parent vehicles. The IDC N0014098G2451 (Department of the Navy) carries 259 task orders valued at $14.5 million combined potential value. Three GSA Basic Ordering Agreements account for substantial volume: GS11B01614 (106 task orders, $575.1 million potential value), GS11B01613 (98 task orders, $468.7 million), and GS11B01705 (89 task orders, $276.5 million). These vehicles position GWU to respond to federal agency task-order competitions across the civilian executive branch and defense.

Activity has fluctuated in recent years—176 awards in 2022, 189 in 2023, 230 in 2024, then 179 in 2025 (through mid-year)—suggesting a mature but variable pipeline. One hundred seventy-seven awards (combined potential value $12.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure in that window.

On SCI-reportable federal service contracts (the subset of service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold), GWU reported $7.2 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024, averaging roughly $2.4 million annually. The SCI dataset shows approximately 9–10 FTEs delivered to the federal government per fiscal year on captured service contracts. Median government-paid hourly rates on these contracts run around $118/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $488/hr. No subcontractor hours appear on the SCI records; the university builds delivery teams with its own staff. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio offers three categories spanning $75–$350/hr, from Program Manager Assistant (bachelor's, no clearance) through Executive Leadership Coach (master's, 15 years' experience, no clearance required).

GWU's primary NAICS concentration is Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (644 awards across the full portfolio), with secondary concentration in Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (324 awards)—reflecting the institution's substantial real estate portfolio and facility management operations. Top PSCs are Education/Training Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees (736 awards), Lease/Rental of Office Buildings (152 awards), and R&D-Defense-Basic Research (120 awards), confirming the triad of educational contracting, facility leasing, and research funding that dominates the federal footprint.
