The Texas A&M University System

The Texas A&M University System, operating through its Financial Management Services division, is a state-controlled educational institution serving as a federal prime contractor and recipient, delivering tuition assistance and educational services almost exclusively to the Department of the Navy and its constituent bureaus. The university system competes full-and-open on all work — it holds no SBA set-aside designations and does not compete under small business programs. It is a 1862 land-grant college and state government entity headquartered in College Station, Texas.

The Texas A&M University System's federal footprint is almost entirely concentrated in Naval personnel education. The top five customer components by award count account for 73% of recent awards and 77% of combined potential value: the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery leads by volume with 122 awards ($1.9 million combined potential value), followed by Naval Education and Training Command (61 awards, $7.2 million), the Bureau of Naval Personnel (24 awards, $10.5 million), and the Chief of Naval Personnel (20 awards, $9 million). The split reveals a pattern — BUMED places many small individual tuition and fees orders, while BuPers and Chief of Naval Personnel anchor larger aggregate funding through educational service agreements and retroactive tuition ratifications. Across the NAICS profile, 277 of 331 awards fall under colleges, universities, and professional schools, and 251 awards cite education/training tuition/registration/membership fees as the PSC. Representative prime work includes a $1.51 million delivery order from BuPers in December 2025 for ratification of government-at-fault retroactive tuition for Fall 2025 NROTC midshipmen, a $1.23 million firm fixed-price delivery order from BuPers in March 2025 for Spring 2025 NROTC midshipmen tuition and allowable fees, a $1.29 million delivery order from BuPers in March 2024 for an educational service agreement, and a $105 thousand purchase order from Army Recruiting Command in June 2023 for lodging services at College Station.

Activity has remained steady but contracted slightly — 15 awards in 2022, peaking at 19 in 2023, dropping to 17 in 2024 and 12 in 2025, with 6 awards recorded in the first five months of 2026. The university system holds a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (N0018919GZ080) with the Bureau of Naval Personnel, established May 20, 2026, with no ceiling value and performance through May 21, 2036, enabling task order issuance for educational services. It also operates under three active indefinite-delivery contracts: N0018907GZ006 (124 task orders, $2.2 million combined potential value), N0014006G0060 (39 task orders, $9.9 million combined potential value), and N0024409G0026 (22 task orders, $519 thousand combined potential value). The university system is overwhelmingly a prime contractor — 99% of awards are primes, with only 2 sub-awards in the portfolio (1% of total), including a sub-award under Creare LLC in December 2024 for research and development of a lightweight turbogenerator for vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicles.

SCI-reportable service contract invoicing totaled $4 million across FY2022 through FY2025 (FY2022: $1.4 million, FY2023: $1.4 million, FY2024: $1.2 million, FY2025: $0), spanning only four prime records and two named-subcontractor records; the dataset shows negligible FTE throughput (0.2 FTEs in FY2024, 0.0 FTEs in other years), indicating that SCI-captured activity represents a small slice of the system's total federal education services delivery, which is predominantly captured under tuition and fee delivery orders falling below or outside SCI reporting thresholds. The university system's federal contracting vehicle position is anchored to Navy BOAs and IDICs; it does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency vehicles.
