About the company
University of South Alabama, a U.S. state government educational institution, operates as a prime recipient on federal research grants and contracts (83% of recent awards) and delivers educational services, research infrastructure, and pre-clinical infectious disease modeling to federal agencies as a comprehensive public research university headquartered in Mobile, Alabama.
The university's federal footprint spans 855 awards with $228.6 million in combined potential value and $933 million obligated, reflecting a heavily research-driven portfolio. Its customer base is broad across 126 agencies but concentrates in life sciences: the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases anchors the top-dollar tier with a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $146.3 million (through July 2031) for pre-clinical animal models of infectious diseases, including small animal, non-human primate, and non-traditional replacement models, plus specialized reagent generation and distribution. The Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ranks second by award count (56 awards, $2.5 million combined potential value) for tuition and fees supporting military personnel education. The National Science Foundation places first by volume (102 awards) across diverse research domains: physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, engineering, computer science, and STEM education. The National Institutes of Health, Health Resources and Services Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration round out the active set, collectively accounting for 37% of award count and 66% of combined potential value.
Award activity shows growth through 2024 (79 awards) followed by contraction in 2025–2026 (63 and 25 awards respectively), with 51 awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $635 thousand) creating modest recompete exposure. The university deploys task orders under five named indefinite delivery contracts, with the largest concentration under N0018907GZ019 (37 task orders, $2.4 million). Recent representative grants include a $146.3 million NIAID IDC for pre-clinical infectious disease models (awarded July 2024), a $4.9 million NSF grant for scholarships in STEM (awarded February 2026), a $2.4 million NOAA cooperative agreement for Gulf ecosystem research (awarded May 2026), a $1.4 million EPA cooperative agreement for nutrient-capturing filter technology (awarded May 2023), and a $800 thousand NSF Major Research Instrumentation award for microelectronics systems acquisition (awarded October 2025). The university also acts as subcontractor on research projects: it subcontracts to the University of Delaware on comparative coastal water-level modeling for military facility resilience (awarded May 2023), and receives sub-awards from Auburn University, the University of Florida, and the University of Alabama on collaborative life sciences and environmental research.
The university's capability portfolio centers on biomedical research (immunology, infectious disease, mitochondrial biology, cancer biology, pulmonary disease), coastal and environmental science (water quality, ecosystem dynamics, resilience), STEM education and workforce development, and applied engineering (microelectronics, composite materials, advanced manufacturing). Work is performed in Mobile, Alabama, with educational service delivery statewide and research collaborations spanning domestic and international partners including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, multiple NIH institutes, NSF directorates, and the Department of Defense.
The Service Contract Inventory dataset covers only 1 record (0 as prime, 1 as sub) in FY2022, reflecting minimal SCI-reportable service contract activity; the university's federal footprint is dominated by research grants and educational services above or below the $150,000 SCI threshold. The university operates predominantly as a prime recipient and does not compete under federal set-asides; awards are full-and-open competitive or non-competitive research solicitations and congressionally-directed education/infrastructure funding.
