University Of Pikeville, Inc.

University of Pikeville, Inc. is a private non-profit educational institution in Pikeville, Kentucky that receives federal tuition and educational services contracts as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) and federal research and development grants as a prime recipient, operating without set-aside designation across its federal footprint. The institution does not hold prime positions on government-wide contract vehicles and does not function as a subcontractor on defense or civilian contracts; its federal role is almost entirely direct prime awards from civilian agencies.

The university's contract portfolio centers on tuition and fees delivery to the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery under a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA N0014002GL724) running through July 14, 2035, with 25 delivery orders valued at $1.8 million in combined potential value. Recent contract awards include a $26,016 delivery order issued March 10, 2026 for tuition and fees, an $82,090 delivery order from February 23, 2026 for educational services, and a $113,510 delivery order from August 8, 2025 for Fall 2025 tuition support. All contract awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders with completion dates ranging from mid-2024 through the first half of 2026. The Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery dominates the contract side, representing 24 awards out of the top-customer count.

University of Pikeville's grant portfolio is substantially larger and more diversified across federal agencies. The institution received a $2.57 million Project Grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (CFDA 23.002) awarded November 1, 2024 for health promotion and disease prevention initiatives running through October 31, 2027. It holds two $10.15 million and approximately $1.88 million Economic Development Administration (CFDA 11.307) Project Grants for construction of the Ag-Tech Innovation Center of Excellence at the Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park, with completion targeted for May 19, 2026. From the Office of Postsecondary Education (Department of Education), the university received a $306,514 TRIO Student Support Services grant (CFDA 84.042) for September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, a $265,075 Career Pathways grant (CFDA 84.031) awarded October 1, 2025, and Upward Bound grants supporting projects in Pike County and Floyd/Martin Counties in Kentucky. The National Institute on Aging funded a $428,397 aging research project (CFDA 93.866) studying thymic structure and function in elderly populations, running through August 31, 2027, with osteopathic medical student research fellowships embedded in the work. The National Endowment for the Humanities supported a medical humanities education initiative. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education provided a $532,849 grant (CFDA 84.422) for a Civic Educators Fellowship Program running through September 30, 2026.

Customer concentration is acute on the Navy contract side — the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery accounts for 24 awards and $1.8 million of the $2.1 million combined potential value across all awards. On the grant side, the Office of Postsecondary Education (18 awards), Appalachian Regional Commission (8 awards), and Economic Development Administration (4 awards) represent the primary grantors. Together, these five agencies account for 78% of recent awards. The disparity between combined potential value ($2.1 million) and combined dollars obligated ($119.3 million) reflects the university's history of substantial multi-year grants — particularly the ten-million-dollar EDA Ag-Tech awards — that have been executed and obligated at rates far exceeding their contract ceiling values.

Award volume has remained modest and relatively flat across the past five years (2022–2026), ranging from two awards (2026 year-to-date) to nine awards (2025). Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The university operates under primary NAICS 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools) with PSC coding driven by education/training tuition and registration fees (32 awards). The sole sub-award relationship noted in the source is a dental education equipment purchase sub-grant from the Energy & Environment Cabinet (awarded February 1, 2025), indicating minimal subcontracting engagement at the federal level.
