Forensic summary
The California Institute of Technology is a research institution located in Pasadena, California. In our records, it has 16 contracts with the U.S. federal government, totaling approximately $2.4 billion. All of these contracts were awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and they are primarily related to research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The earliest contract in our database dates back to July 17, 2018, and the most recent was awarded on April 27, 2026. The organization does not appear to be affiliated with any parent company, and it does not have a stock ticker, as it is a non-profit institution.
The vendor has a risk score of 15 out of 100, indicating a medium risk level. One of the risk indicators is that most of its obligations were awarded without full and open competition, which may suggest limited vendor options or specific procurement requirements. Another indicator is that its revenue is concentrated in a single agency, NASA, which could imply a high dependency on one source of funding. These factors may warrant further review but do not necessarily indicate wrongdoing.
