About the company

University of Puerto Rico Research and Development Center Division, operating as Chancellor Mayaguez Campus, is a Hispanic-serving 1862 Land Grant institution that functions as a prime recipient for federal research grants and a prime contractor for research and development services to U.S. civilian and defense agencies. The institution competes on full-and-open basis (no set-asides) and operates as a U.S. government entity within the University of Puerto Rico system.

The university delivers research services and products spanning engineering, environmental sciences, materials research, and STEM education. Representative work includes delivery orders under the Engineer Research and Development Center's multi-year indefinite delivery contract for coastal hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, environmental analysis, and information technology research conducted in Vicksburg, Mississippi and the Mayaguez campus; a $227,181 Army Corps of Engineers contract for design and analysis of robust power grids incorporating distributed energy resources; a $893,420 NASA grant for the OCEANOS project (Ocean Community Engagement and Awareness Using NASA Observations and Science) targeting low-income Hispanic/Latino students in oceanographic research; and a $9 million NSF cooperative agreement establishing networked research infrastructure across Puerto Rico for AI-based sustainable STEM technologies, with place of performance spanning the Mayaguez campus and ten other University of Puerto Rico campuses plus Ana G. Méndez University System campuses.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Army Corps of Engineers. The Engineer Research and Development Center accounts for 183 awards valued at $18.3 million combined potential value (approximately 65% of the identifiable dollar value in the award portfolio), followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (87 awards, $3.8 million) and NASA through Shared Services Center (18 awards, $2.7 million). The top five customers represent 90% of combined potential value across all awards. The university has worked with 92 distinct federal agencies in recent years but operates predominantly with Army Corps, NOAA, NSF, and transportation-related agencies (Federal Highway Administration).

The university operates on two primary parent vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Army Corps of Engineers (W912HZ13D0001) carrying 135 task orders valued at $3.5 million, and a second IDC (W912HZ21D0004) with 27 task orders at $1.5 million. These vehicles span research in coastal protection, environmental remediation, geotechnical studies, and engineering sciences.

Recent activity shows 38 awards in 2023, 42 in 2024, and 39 in 2025, with 20 awards in 2026 and one award to date in 2027. Twenty-eight awards totaling $1.8 million in potential value are reaching completion in the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity. Award portfolio composition reflects the institution's research mission: 151 awards in physical, engineering, and life sciences research and development; 37 in applied research; 14 in university education services; and remaining awards across professional services and specialized training.

The university functions as prime on 93% of recent awards (789 of 847 total) and as subcontractor on 7% (58 awards). Service Contract Inventory data covering federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows minimal SCI-reportable activity (2 records in FY2022 across sub relationships), reflecting that the bulk of the university's federal revenue flows through research grants and contract delivery orders rather than labor-hour service contracts. The institution's federal work is concentrated in the coastal, materials science, and environmental research domains, with growing emphasis on AI-driven applications, workforce development for underrepresented groups in STEM, and climate resilience in the Caribbean region.
