Troy University

Troy University's Office of Sponsored Programs, a state-controlled institution of higher learning based in Troy, Alabama, serves the federal government primarily as a grant recipient (93% of recent awards are prime grants) and secondarily as a federal contractor for small purchases and services, with no federal contract IDVs or subcontractors in its recent footprint. The institution competes full-and-open across all award categories with no set-aside designations.

Troy University's federal portfolio spans education and training delivery, research administration, and infrastructure support across 45 distinct federal agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count — the Department of the Army (45 awards), Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (23 awards), Department of the Navy (16 awards), Drug Enforcement Administration (14 awards), and Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (11 awards) — account for 50% of recent awards. Combined potential value concentrates in DEA (14 awards, $97 thousand), Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Southeast Region (3 awards, $47 thousand), the Army, OPE, and the Navy, covering 59% of potential value across the portfolio. The disparity reflects a mix of high-volume, low-dollar routine purchases (particularly DEA wireless radio network maintenance orders) alongside larger grant awards in education and research.

On the contracting side, Troy University holds five active Basic Ordering Agreements with the Army (DABT1079H1975 with 18 task orders; DABT0181H0088 with 5 task orders; DABT0181D0264 with 4 task orders; DABT0180H0084 with 3 task orders) and one Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force (F6460598D0006 with 4 task orders). Recent purchase orders include a $31,800 firm fixed-price award from Army Recruiting Command for meal services supporting the Alabama STEM Camp Wiregrass (May–June 2024), and recurring $6,900–$8,368 annual purchase orders from DEA for maintenance of wireless radio network communications facilities at the Troy campus through September 2026.

Federal grant work anchors Troy University's portfolio. The institution holds active recipient grants in vocational rehabilitation training (three separate Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Long-Term Training awards totaling $1,036,412, all effective October 2025–September 2026, each directing at least 65% of funds toward student scholarships), student support services ($1,621,705 TRIO award through August 2026), and mental health and wellness initiatives. Research grants include $534,194 from NSF Division of Chemistry for analytical method development to detect hazardous volatile organic compounds in recycled plastics (through August 2028); $394,429 from NSF Division of Undergraduate Education for interactive multiphysics simulations in optoelectronics (through September 2027); and $284,387 from NSF Office of Integrative Activities for EPSCOR Research Fellows work on chemical upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate waste (through December 2028). The Rosa Parks Museum at Troy University received $504,993 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Museum Grants for African American History and Culture program (September 2026–August 2027) and previously received funding for a mobile app project. Environmental and community-focused grants include $469,379 from EPA Region 4 under the Regional Wetland Program Development Grants for permanent wetland reference site characterization in Alabama (July 2024–June 2027, with a sub-award to Auburn University for fish and herpetology sampling). Troy University also received $1,621,705 for a TRIO Student Support Services project serving 450 eligible students and holds grants supporting community health worker training, school-based mental health counselors, suicide prevention programs, and rural business development.

Sub-recipient work represents 7% of the portfolio. Troy University subcontracts under Auburn University as prime for NSF INCLUDES Alliance initiatives focused on students with disabilities in STEM (Great Alabama Black Belt Region LSAMP and TAPDINTO-STEM), under the University of Alabama for the Small Business Development Center Network, and under World Learning Inc. for capacity building in study abroad programs. Additional sub-awards flow from state agencies, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the Choctawhatchee, Pea, and Yellow Rivers Watershed Management Authority.

Activity has remained stable across the past five years (11–14 awards annually from 2023–2025) with a recent slowdown (4 awards in 2026, 1 in 2027 to date). Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The combined obligated dollars across all awards ($153.6 million) far exceed the combined potential value figure ($242 thousand shown in the portfolio block), indicating the source data carries substantial prior-year invoiced revenue alongside a sparse recent pipeline in the snapshot window.
