About the company
Washington State University, a public 1890 land-grant research institution headquartered in Pullman, Washington, serves as a prime recipient on federal grants and contracts spanning research, education, veterinary diagnostics, and facility management across 285 federal agencies. The institution competes in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designations, operating as a state-controlled government entity eligible for facility leasing arrangements and research funding from civilian and defense agencies.
Washington State University's federal footprint reflects a diversified portfolio anchored in research and educational services rather than commercial contracting. The institution operates as prime recipient on roughly 92% of its awards and as sub-recipient on 8%, delivering concrete capabilities including laboratory diagnostic testing for animal and aquatic diseases; isotope and geochemical analyses; agricultural research in crop breeding, plant pathology, and pest management; veterinary medical education and training; and facility operations and maintenance services. Representative contract work includes a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for aquatic animal disease diagnostic testing (ceiling $250 thousand, awarded September 2026), a $158 thousand purchase order from the Department of Transportation for sustainable aviation fuel technoeconomic analyses and U.S. fuel deployment datasets supporting FAA technical representation at international aviation bodies (awarded August 2026), and a $300 thousand delivery order from USDA Veterinary Services for highly pathogenic avian influenza cattle testing through the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (awarded February 2026). The institution also holds a $1.328 million cooperative agreement with APHIS to operate the Clean Plant Center Northwest, providing virus-tested plant material diagnostics and propagation services for fruit trees, grapevines, and hops destined for U.S. specialty crop producers (awarded September 2026).
Customer concentration is highly dispersed across federal agencies. The National Science Foundation leads by award count with 579 awards, followed by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (474 awards) and USDA's Agricultural Research Service (340 awards), collectively accounting for roughly 33% of recent award volume. By potential value, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service dominates with 49 awards carrying $315.8 million in combined potential value—primarily facility leasing arrangements—while USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services delivers 66 awards valued at $22.8 million. The divergence signals that while NSF and NIFA anchor most awards by count, GSA's infrastructure portfolio represents the majority of dollar commitments.
Washington State University places a substantial share of its work through two GSA Blanket Purchase Agreements: GS10B05944 (114 task orders, $483.1 million combined potential value) and GS10B04428 (175 task orders, $47.9 million). These vehicles anchor facility management and infrastructure services, likely reflecting the institution's campus operations contracts. The 255 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $7.2 million, representing a modest recompete exposure relative to the institution's total active pipeline.
Activity has contracted sharply in recent years—declining from 330 awards in 2024 to 205 in 2025 and 126 in 2026, with only 4 awards recorded in early 2027—suggesting either a shift in federal reporting practices, consolidation of awards into larger vehicles, or reduced new procurement activity. The Service Contract Inventory dataset, covering federal service contracts above the $150 thousand reporting threshold from FY2022 through FY2025, shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $1.7 million across 14 prime records and 7 named sub records, with FY2023 and FY2024 carrying the highest activity (3.4 and 2.2 FTEs respectively). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from $192.79/hr (10th percentile) to $939.98/hr (90th percentile), with median rates around $566.39/hr, reflecting the institution's positioning as a specialized research and diagnostic services provider rather than a commercial staffing contractor.
The institution operates as a sub-recipient on cooperative agreements and research sub-awards from peer universities and research consortia—including University of Washington, Oregon State University, University of Idaho, and others—delivering research components such as field evaluations, laboratory analyses, and graduate student training within larger multi-institutional awards. This sub-award pattern reflects Washington State University's role as a regional research contributor rather than as a subcontractor to commercial primes. The institution maintains no identified parent company and operates as a single public entity under state governance.
