About the company
The George Washington University, a private non-profit research institution operating through its Student Accounts Office / Third Party Division, is a prime contractor and grant recipient serving 273 distinct federal agencies across education, medical research, training delivery, and facility leasing. The university competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations; no SBA certifications are held.
The university's federal footprint is anchored in research and educational services. Prime work spans 4,188 awards (93% of recent activity) valued at $2.29 billion in combined potential value, with substantial obligated funding of $3.73 billion reflecting multi-year commitments. Recent representative work includes a $2.041 million Law Enforcement Responder–Emergency Medical Responder Course delivery to the U.S. Secret Service (through July 2030); a $64.787 thousand epidemiology support services engagement with the NIH Clinical Center for comorbidity index development in acute and critical illness research; a $1.428 million delivery order with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for medical residents at the NIH Clinical Center (through May 2028); and a $235.908 thousand HHS Office of the Inspector General contract for medical direction and training support to the National Training and Emergency Operations Branch (through September 2027). The university also holds a $7.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with NIAID for medical resident staffing at the NIH Clinical Center through May 2030, and a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery extending through April 2035 for medical research, training, consulting, and educational services.
Federal customer concentration is distributed across research and educational agencies. The National Science Foundation leads by award count with 455 awards; the Department of the Navy (Naval Education and Training Command alone) placed 100 awards totaling $34.9 million; the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funded 80 awards worth $46.7 million; and the NASA Shared Services Center awarded 177 grants valued at $21 million. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office / Office of Leasing dominates by dollar value (64 awards, $498.4 million combined potential value), reflecting the university's substantial real estate leasing operations to federal agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 31% of all awards; the top five by potential value account for 27% of combined dollars.
The university operates across multiple parent vehicles. The IDC N0014098G2451 (Naval education and training) carries 259 task orders worth $14.5 million; GSA Basic Ordering Agreements GS11B01614 ($575.1 million across 106 task orders), GS11B01613 ($468.7 million across 98 task orders), and GS11B01705 ($276.5 million across 89 task orders) frame the bulk of the federal services delivery pipeline. These vehicles enable the university to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders for tuition, training, medical research, and facility operations.
Capability portfolio centers on higher education and medical research infrastructure. The university delivers graduate and undergraduate education to military and government personnel (NROTC midshipmen tuition retroactively obligated through the Bureau of Naval Personnel; Naval Education and Training Command student ESA orders); conducts federally funded research in epidemiology, immunology, clinical cardiology, materials science, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing (NSF grants in STEM education, AI-driven optical networks, and neuromorphic computing; NIH grants in HIV pathogenesis, cancer immunology, and maternal health); provides specialized medical training and consultation (Emergency Medical Responder certification, biostatistician support, clinical epidemiology); and operates federal property on behalf of GSA and other agencies (leasing of office buildings). SCI-reported invoicing reached $7.9 million across FY2022–FY2025 (prime contracts), with FY2023 peak invoicing of $3.7 million across 9.5 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on service contracts span $51.29/hr (10th percentile) to $488.36/hr (90th percentile), with a median of $118.16/hr, reflecting a mix of administrative, clinical, and senior research labor. The university's GSA Schedule labor offerings range from Program Manager Assistants at $75/hr (bachelor's, two years experience) through Executive Leadership Coaches at $350/hr (master's, 15 years experience), with no security-cleared positions.
The university subcontracts on behalf of other research institutions rather than subcontracting to external primes: 327 sub-awards (7% of activity) position GWU as a sub-recipient on NIH-, NSF-, and defense-agency-funded collaborative research projects. Named sub-relationships include work under Johns Hopkins University on HIV and maternal health research, University of Pennsylvania on HIV treatment and immunology, Emory University on health equity initiatives, and multiple NSF collaborative research awards where GWU provides biostatistical, epidemiological, or engineering support. The university does not engage named subcontractors to perform federal work; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the sub-hours share is 0%, indicating direct delivery by the university itself.
Activity has moderated recently. Award volume ran 188–229 per year from 2023–2024, declined to 178 in 2025, and dropped to 96 in 2026 as the source date (October 2026) captured fewer awards late in the fiscal year. In the next 24 months, 160 awards (combined potential value $10.8 million) approach ultimate completion date, creating recompete opportunities in Navy education and training, NIH research, and medical resident staffing. The university's federal footprint is characterized by stable, multi-year commitments anchored in education, medical research infrastructure, and government facility operations rather than by rapid growth or competitive volatility.
