About this agency
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs is a civilian sub-agency within HHS that procures communications, public affairs, and related professional services to support departmental messaging and stakeholder engagement.
The office has awarded 89 federal contracts cumulatively since 1987, with recent activity trending upward: 5 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 8 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on August 17, 2026. Combined contract potential value stands at $13.4 million, with $15.7 million obligated across the portfolio. The office has transacted with 39 distinct prime contractors over its history.
Competitive concentration is highly fragmented by value and moderately concentrated by count. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count control 82 percent of recent awards, but that group is dominated by Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees entries (27 awards, $1.016 million combined potential value), Trade Wings LIMITED (2 awards, $43 thousand), and Dksh (Cambodia) LIMITED (2 awards, $92 thousand). By potential value over the same window, the top five primes account for only 16 percent of combined potential value, with Pagefreezer Software Inc. leading at $1.1 million on a single award; Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees again appear in the top tier with $1.016 million combined across their entries. This divergence signals that most awards are small-dollar transactions distributed across a large vendor base.
All 89 awards have been issued without set-aside designation; the office uses open competition exclusively and does not reserve awards for 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, or small-business set-asides.
No recent federal contract opportunities or grant activity is recorded against the office.
