About the company
Trustees of Tufts College, a private research university headquartered in Medford, Massachusetts, operates as a prime recipient on federal grants and contracts across civilian and defense agencies, with no set-aside designations and a portfolio concentrated in educational services, biomedical research, and advanced technology development. The institution competes on full-and-open basis, conducting 91% of its recent work as a prime awardee.
Tufts delivers federal education services—primarily NROTC and Navy officer training tuition support through the Bureau of Naval Personnel and Naval Education and Training Command—alongside substantial research portfolios in life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics. Recent prime contract work includes a $2.0 million definitive contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for microsystems research (awarded December 2024, extending through December 2027); a $1.99 million DARPA definitive contract for research development under the Microsystems Technology Office; educational and research services delivery to the Navy through basic ordering agreements; and a $4.56 million Other Transaction agreement with DARPA. On the grant side, Tufts receives substantial funding from the National Science Foundation (346 awards across five years), the National Institutes of Health (65 awards), and NASA's Shared Services Center (63 awards with $9.9 million combined potential value), conducting research spanning brain-computer interfaces, quantum computing, cosmology, biomedical engineering, materials science, and climate resilience.
The top five federal customer agencies by award count account for 37% of recent awards: the National Science Foundation (346 awards), NIH (65), NASA Shared Services Center (63), the Air Force (60), and the Army (50). By dollar value, NASA leads with $9.9 million in combined potential value across 63 awards, followed by DARPA ($7.7 million across 18 awards) and the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command ($5.1 million across 34 awards). The portfolio spans educational services (117 awards), space science and basic research (29 and 24 awards respectively), defense research development (18 awards), and domain-specific R&D across physics, engineering, and life sciences. Tufts holds a ten-year Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (awarded September 2025, extending through August 2035) and a DARPA Other Transaction IDV ceiling of $4.56 million, both generating task order flow. SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing totaled $631 thousand across FY2022–FY2024, with government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranging from $134/hr (10th percentile) to $292/hr (90th percentile), with a median of $213/hr. The institution operates as a net prime: 91% of recent awards carry prime responsibility, with subcontracting occurring at an average 19% share of hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts and involving two named subcontractors in the captured data. Tufts acts as a subcontractor to larger primes including Northeastern University, MIT, Harvard, Columbia, and Rice University on federally-funded research awards in areas such as quantum computing, biomedical research, and infrastructure resilience. The recompete cliff identifies 74 awards (combined potential value $3.5 million) completing in the next twenty-four months. Activity has remained relatively stable, averaging 81 awards per year over the past five years, with 2024 marking the peak year (113 awards) before declining to 96 in 2025 and 54 projected in 2026. The vendor is structured as a tax-exempt corporate entity with named subsidiaries including the Tufts Veterinary College and the Tufts Human Nutrition unit, subsidiaries that carry capability framing in human and veterinary nutrition research not systematically reflected in the contract awards.
