About MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY federal contract activity
MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY has received $10.63 billion across 3,200 FPDS-reported awards over the last 10 years, with an average award value of $3.32 million. The profile is highly concentrated, reflecting a small number of very large obligations rather than a broad spread of low-dollar actions.
Agency mix and customer concentration
The DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE dominates the relationship, accounting for $10.63 billion and 3,190 awards, or nearly the entire observed total. Other agencies appear only marginally, with the DEPT OF THE ARMY, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, and DEPT OF THE NAVY contributing negligible dollar amounts and DCMA showing zero obligated value despite three recorded awards.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
Award activity is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 541712, which represents $10.57 billion across 2,997 awards and defines the core procurement profile as research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The remaining dollars are split across 541715 and a small tail of unrelated or ancillary categories, including 541990, 541380, and 611430, none of which materially change the overall R&D-heavy mix.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations remain strong and relatively stable in the most recent five years shown, ranging from $1.11 billion in 2021 to $1.56 billion in 2024, with 2025 already at $1.26 billion. Award counts are also steady, generally in the mid-300s per year, indicating sustained contracting volume alongside high-dollar awards.
