About CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY federal contract activity
CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY recorded 1,687 FPDS awards in the last full year, with total obligations of 2.10 billion and an average award value of 1.24 million. The profile is highly concentrated, with NASA accounting for essentially all obligated dollars during the period. The vendor’s UEI is YC1YP79BFD19 and its CAGE code is 23835.
Agency mix and customer concentration
The agency mix is overwhelmingly dominated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which obligated 2.10 billion across 1,686 awards. The National Institutes of Health appears as a single award with zero reported obligated dollars, indicating negligible funding concentration outside NASA. This pattern shows a near-single-agency dependency for federal procurement activity.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
Award activity is concentrated in NAICS 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, which accounts for nearly all obligated dollars and 1,651 awards. A much smaller volume is associated with NAICS 541712, with a modest negative obligated amount, and one award appears under NAICS 541380 with zero obligated dollars. The mix is consistent with research-intensive federal work centered on scientific and engineering R&D.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
The annual trend shows 2.10 billion in obligations and 1,687 awards in 2025, which is the only year in the analysis window. With only one year shown, the data supports a point-in-time view rather than a multi-year trajectory. The 2025 figures reinforce the concentration seen in the agency and NAICS breakdowns.
