About the company
The University of Wisconsin System, a U.S. state government and land-grant educational institution headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, acts as a federal grant recipient focused on small business development, agricultural business training, and civic education, with performance concentrated in Wisconsin and subordinate regional activities. The system operates as a 1862 Land Grant College and state-controlled institution of higher learning; it holds no federal contract prime awards and no awarded federal contract vehicles but maintains an active federal grant recipient footprint across multiple agencies.
The University of Wisconsin System's grant work splits across two primary capability domains: small business and entrepreneurial development services, and agricultural enterprise training and capital access. On the small business side, the system holds recurring cooperative agreements with the Small Business Administration's Office of Entrepreneurial Development to operate the Wisconsin Small Business Development Centers (SBDC), providing management counseling, training, and technical assistance to small businesses in Madison and surrounding areas. Recent SBDC awards include a cooperative agreement running through December 31, 2026 (awarded January 1, 2025) and prior multi-year cycles in 2024 and 2022; a $6.7 million cooperative agreement for 2022–2023 funded the SBDC core operations. The system also received a $125 thousand Project Grant from the SBA's Office of Investments and Innovations under the Federal and State Technology Partnership (FAST) program (CFDA 59.058) for the Center for Technology Commercialization (awarded September 30, 2022), and holds a current FAST cooperative agreement running through September 29, 2029. On the agricultural and food enterprise side, the system is recipient of a $809,903 cooperative agreement from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service (CFDA 10.164, awarded September 30, 2025, running through April 30, 2027) focused on training business advisors and supporting capital access for regional food and farm enterprises; a September 30, 2024 Project Grant from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service supporting direct-to-consumer market financial management training for 100 local producers (award date September 30, 2024, completion September 29, 2027); and a September 15, 2024 Project Grant from USDA's Institute of Food Production and Sustainability targeting equity investment readiness for beginning farmers, projecting $16.5 million in downstream farm investment and 22 farmer financings. The system also received a $1,098,684 Project Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (CFDA 84.422) on October 1, 2025 for a Wisconsin Civic Education Teacher Training Project running through September 30, 2026. The system holds a Minority Business Development Agency cooperative agreement (awarded September 1, 2023, completion August 31, 2027) operating a Capital Readiness Program targeting socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs.
The Small Business Administration's Office of Entrepreneurial Development and the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominate the award count, each accounting for 13 recent awards within the tracked portfolio. By combined potential value, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command ($226 thousand) leads, followed by the Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 ($132 thousand across 8 awards) and the Environmental Protection Agency ($100 thousand across 3 awards). The system has served 19 distinct federal agencies in recent years. As a recipient, the University of Wisconsin System also passes funding to sub-recipients: Global Philanthropy Partnership received pass-through funding from the USDA agricultural marketing cooperative agreement; state and tribal entities including the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Maine Department of Education, and Michigan State University have received sub-awards for food systems coordination, standards development, and biohealth workforce initiatives.
Award activity grew from two awards in 2022 to nine in 2024, with five awards in 2025 and one in the first half of 2026. Five awards face completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore require recompete effort. The system's award portfolio spans small business development services (cooperative agreements and project grants), agricultural and rural enterprise support, educational programming, and subordinate research and health-care delivery partnerships, with the bulk of operational funding flowing through recurring SBA and USDA grant cycles rather than competitive federal procurement vehicles.
