About the company
The Regents Of The University Of Colorado, doing business as University Of Colorado-Denver, operates as a public research institution and prime recipient of federal research grants, delivering biomedical research, clinical trials, and translational science to the National Institutes of Health, NSF, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other agencies. University of Colorado-Denver competes under full-and-open competition with no SBA set-aside certifications and functions predominantly as a prime recipient on federal grants rather than as a federal contractor or subcontractor in the traditional sense, though it holds limited service contract work on a subset of awards.
The institution's capability portfolio centers on academic research and clinical investigation across the life sciences, biomedical engineering, and public health. Representative work spans basic science discovery—including projects on neurodevelopmental mechanisms, immunology, infectious disease, and genomic sequencing funded by NIH institutes—translational research on CAR-T cell engineering and regenerative medicine, and clinical trial operations. Recent examples include a $1.267 million Defense Health Agency award to optimize GMP-grade CAR-T cells for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a $1.357 million NHLBI award to discover prognostic biomarkers of early pulmonary fibrosis, and NSF grants on extremal combinatorics and microbial niche adaptation. The institution also operates service contract work including genomics services, biomarker analysis, and clinical research support delivered to Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 and other federal health agencies.
Customer concentration reflects heavy NIH footprint. The top five funding agencies account for approximately 40% of awards by count: the National Institutes of Health (parent agency, 929 awards), NHLBI (418 awards), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (407 awards), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (393 awards), and National Cancer Institute (354 awards with $570.7 million combined potential value—the largest single-agency commitment by dollars). When ranked by combined potential value, NCI dominates at $570.7 million, followed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 at $118 million. The divergence signals that while NCI drives the largest dollar volume, VA awards anchor a substantial number of smaller clinical-service contracts.
The institution holds task order authority on multiple parent vehicles. Top vehicles by activity include an Navy indefinite delivery contract (N0060085G1805) with 174 task orders valued at $9.9 million, a Navy Basic Ordering Agreement (N0018925GZ062) with 23 task orders valued at $1.2 million, a Department of Labor indefinite delivery contract (DOLJ119532299) with 13 task orders valued at $12.2 million, and a Health and Human Services contract (HHSA290200710008T) with 11 task orders valued at $4.9 million. These vehicles support clinical research, health services, and translational work across civilian and defense customers.
Activity has fluctuated over the past five years. Awards per year show growth from 390 in 2023 to a peak of 725 in 2024, followed by a decline to 540 in 2025 and 419 in 2026, with only 15 awards recorded in early 2027 (reflecting incomplete-year reporting). The combined potential value across the full award footprint stands at $8.24 billion with $8.87 billion obligated (108% of potential, indicating scope growth or award amendments). In the next twenty-four months, 576 awards with combined potential value of $6.9 million face ultimate completion, representing recompete opportunity across the portfolio.
University of Colorado-Denver operates as the child entity within The Regents Of The University Of Colorado system, headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. The institution maintains a distributed workforce across multiple campuses including the CU Anschutz Medical Campus and Children's Hospital Colorado, with research and clinical facilities supporting federal research in Aurora, Colorado and subordinate sites. On Service Contract Inventory-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, CU-Denver invoiced $6.3 million across FY2022–FY2025 as prime contractor (36 records). SCI-reported FTE delivery ranged from 6.7 FTEs in FY2025 to 25.9 FTEs in FY2024, with government-paid hourly rates for prime work median at $103.05/hr (10th percentile $52.94/hr, 90th percentile $160.87/hr). SCI figures represent a strict subset of federal service contract revenue; the institution's total federal research portfolio is substantially larger when grants, cooperative agreements, and indirect cost recovery are included. As a research university, the institution does not operate as a traditional federal contractor and does not pursue SBA certifications or compete on federal service contract vehicles as a primary business line.
