About the company
William Carey University, doing business as William Carey College Bookstore, operates as a private tax-exempt non-profit educational institution based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi that receives federal contracts and grants as a prime recipient — not as a contractor selling goods or services to the federal government in the commercial sense, but as a grantee and tuition provider serving federal agency educational mandates and military personnel support programs. The vendor competes exclusively in unrestricted commercial acquisition, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
The institution's federal work splits between tuition and fee delivery orders for Navy service members and Army-sponsored JROTC and STEM camp programming. On the tuition side, William Carey University holds a standing Basic Ordering Agreement (N0018918GZ003) with the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery that has generated 18 task orders worth $560 thousand combined potential value, covering recurring fall and spring semester tuition and fee payments. On the programming side, the Army Recruiting Command has awarded six purchase orders valued at $460 thousand combined potential value for Health STEM Camp initiatives supporting JROTC cadets from Jackson Public Schools District in Mississippi — most notably a three-year $151 thousand camp agreement (2024–2026) providing meals, training facilities, and instructional support for 60 JROTC cadets and six cadre annually. Representative contract examples include a $101.5 thousand Navy delivery order for fall 2025 tuition, a $50.1 thousand Army purchase order for 6th Brigade JROTC Health programming (June 2025), and a $49.5 thousand Army purchase order for a Health STEM program serving Jackson Public Schools JROTC cadets (June 2026).
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (18 awards, $560 thousand) and the Department of the Army Recruiting Command (6 awards, $460 thousand), which together account for 89% of awards. The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education, the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, and a second Navy customer (distinct from BUMED) round out the active set. The vendor also holds federal grant funding as prime recipient: a Nurse Faculty Loan Program grant from the Bureau of Health Professionals (awarded July 2024, running through June 2099) supporting graduate nursing education programs in the School of Nursing, and a "Stepping Up STEM at WCU" grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (October 2023 through September 2025). William Carey University's award portfolio is characterized by high frequency of small-dollar tuition delivery orders and recurring STEM camp contracts; over the past five years (2022–2026), activity has remained flat at two to four awards annually, with combined potential value of $1.2 million across all 37 awards but obligated dollars of $22.8 million, reflecting the recurring and long-standing nature of tuition contracts.
