Indiana State Office

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Indiana State Office is a sub-agency within USDA that funds housing programs and services for rural Indiana residents through federal contracts and grants. The office has awarded 1,827 federal contracts since 2011, though contract activity has declined sharply in recent years, dropping from 115 awards in 2021 to 1 award in 2024 and 1 award in 2025. Combined contract potential value stands at $669 thousand, with $659 thousand obligated.

Contract competitive concentration is highly fragmented among the top five primes over the last five years, with Simplifile LC and Stericycle Inc. accounting for 100 percent of recent awards by count but only 7 percent of combined potential value — a distribution pattern indicating that recent awards are highly dispersed in dollar terms across the 47 distinct contractors in the portfolio. Simplifile LC leads by recent count with 7 awards totaling $45 thousand in potential value. The remaining contractors in the recent window are transacting at minimal individual volumes.

Small Business set-asides dominate the award mix, comprising 60 percent of all contract awards (1,094 awards), while 40 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation (733 awards). The office has issued no recent contract awards as of the date of this summary.
