About the company
The Johns Hopkins University, a tax-exempt private research university based in Baltimore, Maryland, operates as both a prime federal contractor and grant recipient across health sciences, biomedical research, and educational services with no SBA set-aside designations. The institution holds no small business certifications and competes in full-and-open procurements, anchored by its research mission and institutional scale. Johns Hopkins' federal footprint spans 17,324 prime and sub awards totaling $5.7 billion in combined potential value, with $29.56 billion in obligated dollars reflecting the institution's role as an anchor research facility for the federal government.
Johns Hopkins delivers biomedical research, clinical trial infrastructure, genomics and sequencing services, and educational programs to federal agencies. Recent representative contract work includes a $4.053 million delivery order from the National Cancer Institute for high-throughput genotyping and DNA sequencing to study genetic contributions to human health and disease; a $919,500 NCI delivery order for long-read whole genome sequencing of familial lung cancer research; and a $624,000 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 for limbic and tracts biomarker generation and harmonization. The institution also operates as an Evidence-Based Practice Center under a $90 million indefinite delivery contract with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, issuing delivery orders for systematic reviews and evidence synthesis products. Educational services include a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery covering military medical personnel continuing education and tuition.
Customer concentration reflects federal research funding distribution. The National Institutes of Health dominates by volume, with 2,028 awards across the NIH enterprise; within NIH, the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (909 awards, $700.9 million potential value) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (750 awards, $661.9 million) are the largest sources. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center ranks second by award count (1,426 awards, $429.9 million) and the National Science Foundation places third (941 awards). Together, these five funding sources represent only 35% of total award count, indicating substantial dispersion across 338 distinct customer agencies, with particular concentration in health research institutes within HHS/NIH.
Johns Hopkins places task orders under five primary IDVs: the N0014098G2464 indefinite delivery contract (122 task orders, $4.2 million combined value), the SP070097D4004 IDC (115 task orders), the HHSN268201700006I IDC (88 task orders, $89.7 million), the HHSN268201200008I IDC (86 task orders, $88.1 million), and the HHSN269201400003I IDC (41 task orders, $255 thousand). These vehicles, all federal service and research vehicles, form the backbone of Johns Hopkins' transactional access to agencies. The institution does not occupy traditional government-wide contracts such as GWACs or GSA Schedules; instead, it operates under agency-specific IDCs and single-award vehicles reflecting its position as a specialized research partner rather than a commercial vendor.
Award activity has contracted year-over-year. The institution awarded 1,371 contracts and grants in 2024, declining to 1,053 in 2025 and 700 in 2026; only 13 awards appear in 2027 year-to-date, likely reflecting a partial-year snapshot. The combined potential value of awards completing within the next twenty-four months stands at $260.4 million across 1,455 awards, representing a recompete cliff driven by the annual cycle of federal grant renewals and research contract completions. This recompete exposure reflects the institution's reliance on rolling federal research funding rather than multi-year awarded vehicles.
SCI-reported federal service contract activity captures $220.4 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 on the prime contracting side, declining from $64.5 million in FY2024 to $51.8 million in FY2025. The SCI dataset shows roughly 178 FTEs delivered federally in FY2022, declining to 117 FTEs in FY2025, with median government-paid hourly rates around $152/hr and senior labor pricing extending through $455/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average 6% share of total contractor hours, with 106 named subcontractors reported, indicating that Johns Hopkins primarily builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on extensive subcontracting. Sub-award activity shows the institution functioning as a subcontractor under university and research institute primes, including subawards to the University of Pittsburgh for the MATIC-2 trauma resuscitation clinical trial, to the Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger for a P41 neuroimaging technical development program, to Northwestern University for heart failure research, and to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for critical care and organ transplant studies.
The institution's corporate structure includes subsidiary entities: The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC, a major defense research component; Broadway Services, Incorporated; and Solv Endotherapy Inc., a commercialization spin-out. These subsidiaries extend Johns Hopkins' federal footprint into applied physics and engineering research (APL), facilities and services management, and licensed technology ventures. Johns Hopkins' grant portfolio is dominated by NIH project grants spanning neuroscience, cancer biology, infectious disease, aging, pediatrics, and health services research, with secondary support from NSF, NASA, and the Department of Defense. The institution positions itself as a premier academic research enterprise rather than a specialized contractor, operating through open competition, peer-reviewed funding mechanisms, and established relationships with federal research agencies spanning over seventy years.
