University Of North Carolina At Chapel Hill

University Of North Carolina At Chapel Hill University Cashier Division, doing business as University Cashier, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) providing tuition and fee payment processing and educational services administration for military personnel and federal civilians attending UNC Chapel Hill. The division is a U.S. government entity and state-controlled public university operating as a 1862 land-grant institution, competing exclusively full-and-open (no set-asides) across its federal footprint.

The University Cashier's capability portfolio centers on semester-cycle tuition billing, payment processing, and educational fee administration for Navy-sponsored students, Navy medical personnel, NROTC midshipmen, and federal employee professional-development tuition. Recent concrete examples include a $4.56 million indefinite-delivery contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded September 17, 2026, to establish a Southeast Regional Weather Records Center providing regional environmental information services and climate-related products to state and local governments across the Southeast; a $16.8 thousand purchase order from the CDC Pittsburgh in September 2026 for serology reagents; and recurring Navy-issued delivery orders such as a $331.4 thousand Bureau of Naval Personnel order in October 2024 for educational service agreement tuition billing and a $120 thousand Bureau of Naval Personnel order in February 2026 for NROTC midshipmen tuition and fees. Individual tuition delivery-order ceilings typically range from $1,668 to $331,434 depending on semester enrollment and student count.

Customer concentration is overwhelmingly weighted toward the Department of the Navy. The top five Navy components account for 82% of awards by count and represent 271 of the 329 total awards. The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery alone anchors 209 awards with $5.5 million combined potential value and accounts for 64% of the overall footprint; the Naval Education and Training Command contributes 39 awards ($4.1 million); the Bureau of Naval Personnel contributes 10 awards ($890 thousand); Navy command staff contributes 9 awards ($304 thousand); and Naval Supply Systems Command contributes 4 awards ($139 thousand). The two customer rankings diverge sharply: by potential value, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration leads with 3 awards ($9.6 million), anchored by the single new Southeast Regional Weather Records Center IDIQ, while Navy's volume advantage translates to lower per-order average dollar values. Twenty distinct customer agencies are served across the federal footprint.

The University Cashier holds positions on five parent Navy vehicles. Indefinite Delivery Contract N0018909GZ117, a Bureau of Medicine and Surgery vehicle, carries 160 task orders worth $3.6 million in combined potential value; Basic Ordering Agreement N0018920GZ001 carries 49 task orders ($2.2 million); Indefinite Delivery Contract N0014006G0068 carries 21 task orders ($2.5 million); Indefinite Delivery Contract N0024409G0047 carries 21 task orders ($792 thousand); and Basic Ordering Agreement N0018919GZ045 carries 10 task orders ($1.1 million). The new NOAA IDIQ (with ceiling $5.08 million, performance through April 16, 2031) represents the division's largest single contract vehicle by potential value and marks entry into environmental science services outside the Navy education and training mission.

Activity has grown modestly year over year — 7 awards in 2022 to 15 in 2025, with 12 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only 2 awards worth $65 thousand face ultimate completion inside that window. Award categories concentrate in tuition and educational administration (277 awards under PSC Education/Training — Tuition/Registration), with secondary medical-managed-healthcare exposure (31 awards, likely reflects Navy medical personnel education billing). The source records $30.1 million in combined obligated dollars against $21.8 million in combined potential value, indicating invoiced revenue exceeds ceiling values by 38% — a pattern typical of semester-cycle tuition orders that are repriced downward once actual enrollment is confirmed.

The University Cashier operates with no named subcontractors across its prime federal award footprint. As a sub-recipient, the division participates in three federal grants: a $890 thousand sub-award from Georgia Tech Research Corporation (for SBIR/STTR Fast-Track evaluation and database construction work through 2027); a Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant sub-award from Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (May 2024); and a clinical registry research sub-award from Henry Ford Health System related to a comparative effectiveness study (January 2024). The grant sub-work spans education-research, public health, and clinical evaluation — secondary to the core tuition-administration mission but signaling modest diversification into federal research partnerships beyond Navy contracting.
