Office of the Under Secretary

The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Under Secretary is a civilian sub-agency within the cabinet-level Department of Health and Human Services that administers contracts for executive-level operational and policy support.

The agency's contract portfolio is minimal and inactive. Seven awards span from May 1997 to September 2015, with the most recent award dating 11 years ago. Awards appear sporadically: one each in 2005, 2006, and 2008; one in 2013; and two in 2015. No contract awards have been recorded since 2015. Combined potential value across the portfolio is $708 thousand, though combined dollars obligated reached $1.6 million, indicating that actual spending exceeded initial contract estimates. Each of the seven awards went to a distinct prime contractor, and no awards carried set-aside designations. The dispersed contractor base and absence of repeat awardees reflect the highly specialized, one-off nature of executive-support contracting at the sub-agency level.

No recent contract opportunities are on file. No grant activity is recorded against this office.

Given the eleven-year gap since the last award and the absence of any open solicitations in the current record, this office presents minimal opportunity for active pursuit. The portfolio suggests infrequent, non-recurring needs for specialized executive support that do not follow a regular solicitation cycle. Business development activity should focus on monitoring for occasional, ad-hoc opportunities rather than planning sustained engagement.
