About the company
The Ohio State University, a public 1862 Land Grant institution based in Ohio, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants and contracts (99% of recent awards) across research, education, and training programs funded by fifty-eight distinct federal agencies. The university does not hold set-aside designations; it competes full-and-open as a research and educational entity.
The Ohio State's federal footprint spans medical and surgical research, defense basic research, and education and training delivery. Recent work includes participation as a sub-recipient on a cryogenic hydrogen-energy aircraft design concept grant awarded to the University of Illinois, antimicrobial stewardship training and benchmarking on dairy farms as a sub-recipient under a Michigan State University prime, and in vitro pesticide metabolism evaluation for the Department of Defense as a sub-recipient under Collaborations Pharmaceuticals. As a prime recipient, the university draws funding from agricultural research (Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture, 67 awards), naval training and education (Department of the Navy Naval Education and Training Command, 19 awards with $7.3 million combined potential value), and veterans health services (Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, 105 total awards across three integrated service networks with $1.6 million combined potential value).
The top-five customer agencies by award count account for 55% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Navy (117 awards), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (77 awards), the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (67 awards), the Department of the Air Force (64 awards), and the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (26 awards). By potential value, the Navy dominates at $7.3 million across nineteen awards, followed by VA VISNs 8, 10, 2, and 4 with smaller individual award magnitudes. The bulk of the university's federal work routes through five parent vehicles: an Air Force indefinite delivery contract with thirty-nine task orders, a Navy indefinite delivery contract carrying $10.1 million across twenty-four task orders, an Air Force basic ordering agreement with fourteen task orders, an Army basic ordering agreement with twelve task orders, and a Department of Health and Human Services blanket purchase agreement with nine task orders.
Activity volume has remained sparse in the source data window — averaging two to four awards per year from 2017 through 2024 — though cumulative obligated dollars ($134.7 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($19 million), indicating mature, multi-year awards in execution. The university's work distribution clusters in NAICS 'Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools' (81 awards) and PSC categories spanning medical and surgical equipment (112 awards), defense basic research (102 awards), and education and training (139 awards combined across tuition, vocational, and general instruction PSCs). The university structures itself through sixteen named legal entities, all variants of The Ohio State University designation, reflecting typical academic consolidation of operating divisions and research centers under a parent holding structure.
