About the company

University System of Maryland, a state-controlled system of public higher-education institutions based in Hyattsville, Maryland, operates as a federal grant recipient and contract prime across research, education, and IT infrastructure work, serving 48 distinct federal agencies as a prime contractor or recipient on 98% of recent awards. USM is structured as a parent organization overseeing 36 named subsidiaries including University of Maryland College Park (a 1862 Land Grant institution), University of Maryland Baltimore, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of Maryland Global Campus, and historically black colleges Coppin State University and Bowie State University. The system receives no set-aside preference and competes full-and-open across civilian and defense funding streams.

USM's federal footprint concentrates heavily in basic and applied research funding. The top five customer agencies — the Department of the Army (167 awards), the Department of the Navy (139 awards), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (108 awards), the Department of the Air Force (53 awards), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 awards) — account for 73% of all awards by count. Award dollars tell a narrower story: the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Naval Personnel anchors the explicit dollar rankings with $2.4 million combined potential value across 8 awards (including a $715,886 sole-source purchase order awarded July 1, 2022, for Maryland Research & Education Network membership subscription and IT support services to the United States Naval Academy Information Technology Service Department, running through July 1, 2026). The divergence between high-volume military research customers and low explicit-dollar rankings reflects the typical posture of basic research awards under indefinite delivery and research development vehicles, where individual task orders carry modest stated ceilings but actual obligation and performance value accumulate across multiple years and funding tranches.

The research portfolio splits across defense basic research (118 awards under PSC R&D-Defense Other: Basic Research), other basic research (50 awards under PSC R&D-Other Research and Development: Basic Research), applied research and exploratory development (48 awards under PSC R&D-Defense Other), space science and applications (43 awards under PSC R&D-Space: Science/Applications), and education and training work (46 awards under PSC Education/Training-General). USM places task orders under five named parent vehicles: Basic Ordering Agreement F6460583D0010 (32 task orders), and four Indefinite Delivery Contracts (DACA7684C0004 with 7 task orders, F0160079D0277 with 5 task orders, F4962080C0001 with 5 task orders, and F3361581K3224 with 4 task orders). Recent grant work includes a $4.473 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) awarded January 1, 2024, for "Maryland ABC's for Student Success" (advising, belonging, coaching initiatives), running through December 31, 2027; a $149,877 National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (CFDA 45.312) awarded August 1, 2023, to develop replicable frameworks for open educational resource localization across academic libraries and consortia; and a Project Grant from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission awarded February 1, 2024, to encourage college students to serve as nonpartisan poll workers and assistants under the Help America Vote Act.

USM operates as a sub-recipient on a small subset of federal research awards, including grant subawards with University of Illinois (four awards spanning photonic topological states and shock-grazing aerodynamics research), University of Washington (sea ice and iceberg operational awareness), Carnegie Mellon University (data science for education recruitment and outreach), and Maryland State Department of Education (career and technical education programs). Award activity has remained modest in recent years — one award in 2022, two in 2023, six in 2024, four in 2025, and two year-to-date in 2026 — with combined potential value across all 656 awards totaling $109.5 million against obligated dollars of $225.7 million, indicating substantial multi-year spending authorization under IDV task-order vehicles.
