Questions about Smithsonian Institution

How much has Smithsonian Institution been awarded in government contracts?

$9.1M across 9 awards on RFPFinder: $8.8M on 8 federal awards and $285K on 1 state and local award, March 2021 to July 2026. That is the sum of the award records RFPFinder holds, not a complete history of Smithsonian Institution's government revenue.

Which prime contractors subcontract to Smithsonian Institution?

Prime contractors reported 7 subawards to Smithsonian Institution worth $8.1M on USAspending.gov, most from University System of New Hampshire ($5.9M), Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC, the ($1.6M) and Lockheed Martin Corporation ($609K). Smithsonian Institution also reported 1 subaward of its own worth $410K. These are the subawards under prime contracts for the agencies and codes RFPFinder tracks.

How do I find Smithsonian Institution's UEI or CAGE code?

Smithsonian Institution's UEI on its federal awards is Q7N8CH7NR418, and USAspending lists 2 more UEIs under the same name, usually separate divisions or sites. Award records do not carry CAGE codes; search the UEI in SAM.gov's entity search to see the CAGE code and registration status.

Vendor totals add up the award records RFPFinder holds: federal contract awards from USAspending.gov for the agencies and codes behind open notices, and state and local awards from open-data contract registers and purchase-order files. They are not a vendor's complete government revenue, and a register that lists a contract ceiling or repeats a contract can overstate spend. Names are grouped across spellings ("Corp" and "Corporation"); each award links to its source record. Subcontracts are prime contractors' subaward reports on USAspending.gov for the prime awards behind the same agencies and codes, and GSA Schedule contracts come from GSA eLibrary's MAS contractor list; both are matched to vendors by name.
