William James College Inc.

William James College Inc., doing business as William James College, is a private nonprofit university based in Newton, Massachusetts that delivers tuition and fees for graduate psychology and behavioral health education programs to federal agencies as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor on tuition delivery orders. The college operates across 93% prime awards and 7% sub-awards, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across all transactions.

William James College's federal footprint splits between tuition delivery orders from the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and grant funding from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education. On the contract side, the college receives delivery orders funding military medical personnel training in psychology, mental health, and behavioral health. Representative contract work includes a $28,255 tuition and fees delivery order from the Department of the Navy awarded July 1, 2026, a $35,232 tuition delivery order from the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery awarded August 1, 2023, and an $18,950 tuition and fees delivery order from BUMED awarded January 9, 2024. These delivery orders sit under two Navy Basic Ordering Agreements: N0018918GZ012 (14 task orders, $294 thousand combined potential value) and N0018914GZ008 (2 task orders, $24 thousand combined potential value). On the grant side, William James College received a $496 thousand Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) awarded September 1, 2024 to support an integrated framework for school environments and student supports through August 31, 2027. The college also holds a four-year Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training Program for Paraprofessionals grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Health Professionals awarded September 1, 2025, running through August 31, 2029, and a Graduate Psychology Education Programs grant from the same bureau awarded July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028.

The college's customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery accounts for 16 awards ($268 thousand combined potential value, 38% coverage), followed by the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Health Professionals (9 awards), the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (5 awards), and the Department of the Navy overall (3 awards, $65 thousand combined potential value). Award activity has been modest and flat across the past five years: 2 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 2 in 2026. Only 2 awards carry completion dates within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. In its sub-award role, William James College received a June 2025 sub-grant from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine supporting suicide-prevention tasks under the SAFEGUARD program, and two other sub-grants from the District of Columbia and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for pandemic response and co-response team training.
