Administrative Services Division

The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Headquarters Administrative Service Headquarters Division is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that procures administrative and operational support services. APHIS Headquarters Administrative Service manages contracts for facility operations, information technology, and administrative functions supporting the parent agency's plant and animal health inspection mission.

The agency has awarded 15 federal contracts totaling $7.3 million in combined potential value since 2015, with $6.8 million obligated to date. Contract activity has remained light and episodic: 2 awards in 2020, 1 in 2021, 3 in 2022, 2 in 2023, and 2 in 2024, with the most recent award closed on 2024-08-14. Distinct prime contractors across the portfolio number 14, reflecting a highly fragmented competitive base. Over the last five years, no single contractor has established dominance. Shivoy Inc. leads by potential value with one award worth $3.7 million, followed by Emergent, LLC with $1.1 million on a single contract. The top five contractors by award count account for 71% of recent awards, and the top five by potential value account for 69% of combined value, but the concentration reflects the small overall award count and narrow competitive base rather than market-leading position by any single prime. The vast majority of awards—87 percent—carry no set-aside designation; 8(a) sole-source and total small-business set-asides each account for a single award (7% each).

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the division as of the source date. The light and irregular award cadence, combined with the absence of active solicitations, suggests this office manages a limited and sporadic contracting pipeline focused on specific administrative and operational support needs rather than maintaining continuous procurement activity.
