Insight
Over the last full year, SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE (CAGE 26401) recorded $296.87 million in obligated awards across 661 actions, for an average award value of $449,122.98. The annual activity is concentrated entirely in 2025 within the 1-year window, indicating a single-period obligation profile rather than a multi-year trend. This level of obligation across a relatively high award count suggests broad distribution of funding across numerous awards rather than reliance on a small number of very large actions.
