About the company
University of California, Davis (doing business as Davis Campus / News Service) is a 1862 land-grant public research institution and tax-exempt educational entity that operates as a prime recipient and contractor on federal research grants and contracts across life sciences, engineering, agriculture, veterinary medicine, and space research, with no small-business set-aside designation and participation across 316 federal customer agencies.
UC Davis functions primarily as a research grant recipient rather than a contract prime. The institution's recent footprint (2023–2026) spans 10,003 awards—91% prime, 9% sub—with combined potential value of $977.3 million and combined obligations of $11.13 billion. The gap between obligation and potential value reflects the institution's role as a custodian of federal research funds passed through to researchers, graduate students, and sub-recipients across multiple disciplines. Activity has averaged 476–616 awards annually over the past five years, with a marked slowdown in 2027 (7 awards) reflecting the typical lag in reporting of newly awarded grants.
The customer base is academically typical: the National Science Foundation leads by count with 1,356 awards; the National Institutes of Health follows with 837 awards across all NIH institutes and centers; and the Department of Agriculture (NIFA and ARS combined) accounts for 913 awards. By potential value, the top five customer agencies (NSA Shared Services Center, NIH NHLBI, NICHD, NCI, and NOAA) represent only 20 percent of combined potential value, indicating broad dispersal of funding across NIH institutes, NSF directorates, and USDA programs. The institution is not concentrated in any single funding mechanism or customer.
Recent representative work includes prime grants from NIH institutes and centers spanning neuroscience (NINDS, NIMH), aging research (NIA), cancer biology (NCI), and cardiovascular disease (NHLBI); NSF support for environmental science, mathematical and physical sciences, and biological sciences; USDA funding for agricultural research and food safety; and NASA support for space science. UC Davis holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the National Park Service (ceiling $30 million, through July 2031) to operate and maintain the IMPROVE particle monitoring network across 146 U.S. sites. The institution also participates in federal service contracts captured by the Service Contract Inventory, with SCI-reported invoicing of roughly $10 million across FY2022–FY2025, with median government-paid rates around $110.79/hour and senior labor to $372.59/hour on research support contracts. The FTE trajectory on SCI records shows growth from 5.9 FTEs in FY2022 to 48.3 FTEs in FY2025, reflecting increased research staffing.
The institution's teaming profile emphasizes sub-recipients and collaborators on federal grants rather than subcontractors on service contracts; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the average sub-hours share is 0 percent. UC Davis appears as a sub-recipient on federal grants led by peer research institutions (Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Duke, University of Pennsylvania, and others) and occasionally as a named subcontractor on prime contracts issued to larger research firms (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, American Institutes for Research). The sub-award footprint names 26 prime grantee organizations across the sample, spanning university and research institute partners.
A 612-award recompete cliff window covering the next 24 months (through October 2028) carries combined potential value of $14.8 million and represents routine grant completion and renewal cycles typical of academic research operations. The institution's parent vendor is the State of California Controller's Office (U.S. State Government), reflecting UC Davis's status as a public university within the state system.
