University Of Wisconsin System

University of Wisconsin System's Office of the Bursar Division operates as a state-controlled educational institution delivering tuition and fees services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no set-aside designations. The Office of the Bursar is a child entity of the University of Wisconsin System parent, headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, and categorizes primarily under NAICS 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools) with secondary work in research and laboratory services.

The Office of the Bursar's federal footprint centers exclusively on Department of Navy contracting. The top five customer agencies account for 54% of awards by count, led by the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (81 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value), the Naval Education and Training Command (40 awards, $8.5 million), the Bureau of Naval Personnel (23 awards, $6.5 million), the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (65 awards), and the Department of the Army (15 awards). By potential value, the Naval Education and Training Command dominates (40 awards, $8.5 million), followed by the Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (12 awards, $7.4 million), and the Bureau of Naval Personnel. The work is nearly all tuition and fees delivery under the PSC code Education/Training—Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees (166 of 228 education-categorized awards), supporting Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship students and active-duty military personnel attending University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Recent awards exemplify this narrow scope: a $519,580.44 delivery order from the Bureau of Naval Personnel in March 2024 for NROTC tuition and fees, a $506,831.54 award from the same agency in March 2023 for 33 NROTC scholarship students for Spring 2023, a $543,392.16 award in October 2021 for 39 NROTC scholarship students for Fall 2021, and continuing semester-by-semester small-dollar orders for retroactive tuition and individual student coverage. The Office of the Bursar places work under two named Navy indefinite delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0014006G0080 (28 task orders, $8.7 million combined potential value) and Basic Ordering Agreement N0018919GZ053 (26 task orders, $6.6 million), with the latter running through 2029. Activity has remained modest and flat — three to seven awards annually over the past five years — with 417 total awards spanning from 1987 to April 2026. The Office of the Bursar holds one grant sub-award from County of Juneau in July 2023 for grant evaluation and data collection; all other work is prime contracting. Secondary research and development work includes five NASA Goddard Space Center awards ($2.4 million combined potential value), laboratory testing, and utilities contracting, but represents less than 2% of the footprint by award count.
