About the company
University Of Rhode Island, doing business as Controller's Office, is a U.S. state government entity and 1862 land-grant research institution that operates as a prime recipient of federal research grants and a prime contractor for specialized services and basic research work across 75 federal agencies, with no set-aside designations. The institution is a child entity of the parent University Of Rhode Island and competes full-and-open across Navy, National Science Foundation, Department of Agriculture, and NOAA funding streams.
URI's award footprint is heavily concentrated in Navy work. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 76% of recent awards, led by the Naval Sea Systems Command (469 awards, $6.3 million combined potential value), followed by the National Science Foundation (153 awards), the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (137 awards), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (65 awards, $1.8 million), and the Department of the Navy (55 awards, $350 thousand). By dollar value, the top five customers account for 30% of combined potential value, with Naval Sea Systems Command anchoring the largest share. URI operates as the prime contractor or recipient on 99% of its awards, with minimal subcontractor involvement (nine sub-awards).
URI's capability portfolio spans research, facility services, and technical support. On the Navy side, URI holds two major indefinite delivery contracts: N6660406D0006 (235 task orders, $2.7 million combined potential value) and N6660409D0014 (214 task orders, $3.1 million combined potential value), which fund basic and applied research. Representative prime work includes a $75,000 Naval Sea Systems Command contract awarded April 17, 2024, for a 12-month basic research project investigating high-speed water entry physics and underwater explosion effects, executed at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center facility in Newport. A $140,000 Office of Naval Research grant award dated September 1, 2026, funds statistical learning research for sonar applications under CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research) through August 31, 2029. URI also operates as the sole-source provider for Army National Guard lodging and meals services during the annual LEAPFEST parachute competition, with awards in 2022 ($115,425), 2023 ($123,406), 2024 ($145,244), and 2025 ($121,242).
On the research and development side, URI is a prime recipient of NSF and NOAA grants supporting environmental science and coastal observing systems. A $3.5 million Cooperative Agreement from USAID, awarded May 2, 2024, supports the Madagascar Conservation, Communities and Sustainable Development Program through May 1, 2029, focused on marine ecosystem resilience and community engagement. URI also subcontracts under Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems grants (September 2024 and June 2024 sub-awards for equipment upgrades at the Graduate School of Oceanography dock), Brown University health research grants, and other research institution primes. The university's award portfolio reflects NAICS concentration in Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (495 awards) and PSC concentration in Support-Administrative and Support-Professional categories (429 combined awards), with smaller research and development activity in physical sciences and engineering.
Recent award velocity is sparse — one award in 2025 and one in 2026 within the source window — reflecting the steady-state nature of Navy task-order execution and grant renewals rather than new procurement activity. The source does not disclose recompete exposure or substantive changes in customer concentration direction.
