About the company
The Trustees of The University of Pennsylvania, operating through its Linguistic Data Consortium division (doing business as Wharton Executive Education), is a tax-exempt research university that receives federal contract and grant funding as a prime recipient (20% of recent awards) and predominantly as a sub-recipient on research grants (80% of recent awards). The vendor operates across 15 distinct federal customer agencies, with no SBA set-aside designations; federal work centers on research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences.
The university's prime footprint emphasizes defense and intelligence research. Its signature federal contract is an $8.46 million definitive contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, awarded January 11, 2022, for Computational Cultural Understanding (CCU) — a cost-no-fee performance contract running through February 28, 2026 that develops cross-cultural language understanding technologies and dataset creation to enhance operational effectiveness for Department of Defense personnel. The Linguistic Data Consortium brings specialized expertise in language research, data analysis, and cross-cultural dialogue technologies directly supporting DoD requirements. Separately, the Office of the Inspector General awarded a $62,100 purchase order in May 2023 for effective decision-making training delivered May 22–26, 2023. The university also holds a prime grant award from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for nonnegative matrix factorization research aimed at identifying host-pathogen interactions and developing medical countermeasures, extending through September 4, 2027.
Customer concentration is anchored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which accounts for all $22.3 million in combined potential value across four awards—representing the entirety of measured prime-dollar potential. The top five customer agencies by award count cover 56% of recent awards: DARPA leads by volume and dollars, followed by three separate National Institutes of Health institutes (National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and National Institute of Mental Health with two awards each, and National Institute on Aging with two awards). The university serves as sub-recipient on biomedical research grants administered through prime institutions including The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (lung adenocarcinoma development research), Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (neurodevelopmental and psychiatric research), Weill Medical College of Cornell University (tuberculosis transmission and microbiome research), Carnegie-Mellon University (heterogeneous solids research), Case Western Reserve University, and Drexel University. Grant sub-award work ranges from statistical analysis and data coordination for randomized controlled trials to genomic sequencing, neuroimaging, and molecular biology supporting NIH research initiatives across oncology, infectious disease, psychiatry, and neurodegenerative disease. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. Recent activity has grown from four awards in 2022 to eight in 2025, with two awards recorded through mid-2026.
