About this agency
The Department of Health and Human Services, a cabinet department and the principal federal agency responsible for health, human services, and social-support programs, manages one of the most diversified contracting and grant portfolios in the federal government. HHS funds research, medical services, public health programs, social services, and operational support across the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Administration for Children and Families, Administration for Community Living, Indian Health Service, and other operating divisions.
HHS has issued 762,690 federal contract awards with a combined potential value of $4.329 billion since 1950, with $519.84 billion obligated to date. Recent contract volume has declined: 22,423 awards in 2023, 20,399 in 2024, 11,891 in 2025, 9,828 in 2026, and 7 year-to-date in 2027. The most recent recorded award date is 2027-03-01, roughly four months in the future. The competitive landscape for recent contract awards is highly fragmented. Government Scientific Source Inc. leads by count with 1,217 awards and $79.3 million combined potential value over the last five years, followed by Illumina Inc. with 1,202 awards and $117 million and Fisher Scientific Company L.L.C. with 1,037 awards and $32.7 million. By potential value, Carahsoft Technology Corp. dominates with 621 awards worth $2.7 billion, but the by-value top five cover 0% of combined potential value—a structural indicator that the agency transacts heavily through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders where dollar values are not reported in source data. The portfolio is 88% open competition with no set-aside, 8% small business, 2% 8(a) sole source, and 1% competitive 8(a), with Buy Indian, service-disabled veteran, HUBZone, and woman-owned small business designations each under 1%.
HHS has made 972,597 federal grant awards obligating $27.816 billion in federal share and $28.496 billion including non-federal match since records began. Recent grant volume shows 665 awards in 2027 year-to-date. The top five grant recipients over the last five years are highly concentrated by both count and federal dollars. The Johns Hopkins University leads with 1,547 awards and $3.59 billion obligated; The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco follows with 1,503 awards and $3.87 billion; Regents of the University of Michigan holds 1,441 awards and $3.27 billion; The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania earned 1,375 awards and $2.76 billion; and University of Pittsburgh earned 1,296 awards and $2.94 billion. These five recipients account for a concentrated recipient base across both metrics. The grant portfolio is dominated by Project Grants (77% of awards), with smaller shares of Formula Grants (10%), Block Grants (7%), and Cooperative Agreements (6%).
Recent contract opportunities span Indian Health Service procurement for propane delivery, biomedical equipment maintenance, dental staffing, building materials, pest control, elevator maintenance, and medical waste disposal at tribal health centers; NIH solicitations for laboratory equipment service agreements, sequencer maintenance, specialized disposable gloves, and sole-source medical device purchases; BARDA market research on AI-enabled ultrasound fracture detection; and CDC sole-source support for Medicaid data analysis. An upcoming contract opportunity (75H71327Q00002, due Nov 6, 2026) seeks pre-solicitation responses for preventive maintenance and inspection of biomedical equipment, open to all business types including HUBZone, 8(a), veteran-owned, and woman-owned small businesses under Buy Indian Act authority. Another significant opportunity (7571MN27R00005, due Nov 19, 2026) is for comprehensive enterprise-wide lifecycle support for electronic security systems across HHS facilities nationwide, covering physical access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and related infrastructure at approximately 35 active facilities at award with capacity to scale to 699 facilities.
Recent grant opportunities reflect HHS's core missions in health research, aging services, and social support. The Discovery Gateway to Reproductive Health Innovation (RFA-HD-28-001) seeks to establish a knowledgebase on preeclampsia, endometriosis, preterm birth, infertility, and uterine fibroids, open to universities, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations. Residential Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children (HHS-2027-ACF-ORR-ZU-0045, cooperative agreement) targets 24/7 residential care providers licensed by states. The Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative offers multiple cooperative agreements including ADPI State and Community Grants and a new Dementia Capability in Indian Country program (HHS-2027-ACL-AOA-ADPI-0010) restricted to federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations. The Centers for Research on Neglected Infectious Diseases (RFA-AI-28-020) and Testing Centers for Evaluation of Somatic Cell Genome Editing (PAR-28-084) support research infrastructure at universities and research organizations. The Field Initiated Projects Program (HHS-2027-NIDILRR-IFRE-0303, due Sep 25, 2026) funds disability research at IHEs, nonprofits, and states with 36-month awards.
