About the company
University of Washington, operating as the Escience Institute, is a public research university based in Seattle, Washington that acts as a federal prime contractor and sub-recipient for research and community-engagement services, with no small-business set-asides across its recent award footprint. The Escience Institute is a division of the University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs and competes on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designations.
The Escience Institute's concrete federal capability centers on designing and executing research community hackweeks, workshops, and data-science training events for NASA Earth science missions. The institute organizes five-day developer hackweeks and user workshops tailored to specific research communities, with emphasis on open-source software development, researcher training, and adoption of emerging tools such as generative AI. Representative prime work includes a $245,687 sole-source purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center to organize the ICESat-2 Hackweek (April 2025–April 2026), a $249,946 sole-source purchase order for a Cryospheric Science Applications Hackweek focused on the ICESat-2 mission (April 2024–April 2025), and a $149,344 sole-source purchase order to design and execute a five-day Generative AI for NASA Earth Science Mission Data Hackweek (August 2026). All three awards were executed under FAR Part 12 commercial procedures or FAR Part 13 authority, recognizing the Escience Institute's specialized expertise in technical workshop facilitation and community engagement around NASA's Earth science initiatives.
NASA's Shared Services Center dominates the Escience Institute's customer concentration, accounting for all six prime contract awards and the full $1.2 million in combined potential value across the prime footprint. Five distinct federal agencies appear across the combined award portfolio (prime and sub), but the concentration is decisive: NASA holds 100% of combined potential value. The institute also engages as a sub-recipient under University Corporation for Atmospheric Research prime grants from the Department of Energy Office of Science, where it mentors PhD students in analysis of Atmospheric System Research datasets (three awards), and as a sub-recipient under Health Care Authority and National Opinion Research Center prime grants for health-services research and Indigenous evaluation capacity building.
Activity has grown modestly year over year, from one award in 2022 to five in 2024, with three awards placed in 2025 and one in 2026. The institute's recent award base is compact — 13 total awards spanning prime contracts, IDVs, and grant sub-awards — with combined obligated dollars ($2.4 million) exceeding combined potential value ($1.2 million), indicating that several purchase orders have been fully invoiced against their ceilings. The Escience Institute does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency IDIQs; all work flows through direct agency purchases or task orders under specific solicitations.
