Office of the Administrator

The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Office of the Administrator is a civilian sub-agency that administers federal contract and grant awards supporting health workforce development, training, and service-delivery initiatives.

The Office has a sparse recent contract footprint. Across all-time portfolio history since 2006, it has issued 12 contract awards totaling $41.4 million in potential value to 10 distinct prime contractors, with $39.6 million obligated. Recent activity shows 1 award in 2025, 2 awards in 2023, 3 awards each in 2017 and 2018, and 1 award in 2016. Competitive concentration among recent award winners is highly fragmented — the top three primes by both award count and potential value over the last five years hold 100 percent of recent awards but with de minimis individual values: New TECH Solutions, Inc. ($1 thousand), Prime Contractors Inc. ($16 thousand), and Communication Institute International, Inc. ($9 thousand). All 12 contract awards carry no set-aside designation. The portfolio shows a structural pattern of minimal recent transaction volume and reported contract values that suggest the Office's contract awards may be administrative or below-threshold in nature.

Grant activity is substantially larger. The Office has issued 19 grant awards since 2006 totaling $708.1 million in combined federal obligation to 12 distinct recipients. Award cadence shows 6 grants in 2017, 4 each in 2021 and 2022, 1 each in 2020 and 2024. All 19 awards are Project Grants. Grant recipient concentration is highly fragmented — the top four recipients by federal dollars over the last five years hold 21 percent of combined federal obligation, with Meharry Medical College dominating recent awards at $131.2 million (1 award), followed by Health Research, Inc. at $12.1 million (1 award), University of Washington at $3.8 million (1 award), and Jhpiego Corp at $2.5 million (2 awards). The remainder of the 12 recipients claim the other 79 percent of federal funding in a long tail of smaller grants.
