HOWARD UNIVERSITY

Howard University delivers specialized education and research services to federal agencies, primarily supporting defense, health, and public sector missions through academic programming and scientific innovation. Its core capabilities include advanced research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences—particularly in tactical autonomy and systems analysis—alongside the administration of federally funded educational initiatives. The institution provides tuition and academic services to military personnel and federal employees, enabling workforce development through accredited degree programs and professional training. Technical expertise spans autonomous systems research, data-driven analysis, and science-based policy support, with a demonstrated ability to integrate academic rigor into mission-critical government operations. Its unique positioning as a historically Black university enables targeted outreach and inclusive workforce development, enhancing diversity in STEM and national security pipelines. Howard University maintains a strong, recurring relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering both tuition support for service members and cutting-edge R&D in tactical autonomy. It also partners extensively with the Department of Health and Human Services to advance public health education and workforce training, particularly through graduate-level programs aligned with agency priorities. Additional engagements with the Department of State reflect institutional capacity in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives tied to diplomatic and civil service development. The contractor’s primary focus lies in NAICS 923110 (administration of education programs) and 611310 (colleges and universities), where it operates as a federally funded academic partner delivering accredited education, research execution, and workforce development. Secondary expertise in 541715 (physical and engineering sciences R&D) positions it as a non-traditional but credible provider of defense science and technology services. As a higher education institution headquartered in Washington, D.C., Howard University operates under its institutional charter with no formal government certifications, yet leverages its academic accreditation and federal funding compliance to serve as a trusted partner in national security and public health missions. Its geographic concentration in the nation’s capital enhances access to federal stakeholders and policy networks.
