Program Support Center

The Department of Health and Human Services Program Support Center is a civilian sub-agency within HHS that provides acquisition and administrative support services across the department. The Program Support Center's contract portfolio reflects its historical role as an internal service provider and procurement support arm for HHS operations.

The Program Support Center has closed 5,145 federal contract awards across its portfolio history since 1986, with the most recent recorded award dated August 30, 2010—over fifteen years ago. This portfolio represents a historical activity level rather than an active current procurement environment. Award volume in the final five years of recorded activity declined sharply: 5 awards in 2006, 5 in 2007, 28 in 2008, 15 in 2009, and 3 in 2010. Combined award potential value stands at $104.8 million, though cumulative dollars obligated reached $2.36 billion, reflecting extensive option exercise and modification activity across the portfolio's lifetime. The Program Support Center has transacted with 1,951 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio history.

The contract competitive base is highly fragmented. No recent top-primes data is available; the portfolio's historical breadth across nearly two thousand distinct contractors and the absence of awards for over sixteen years prevent identification of current competitive leaders. The set-aside distribution heavily favors unrestricted competition: 89 percent of awards carried no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 9 percent of awards, with 8(a) Sole Source at 2 percent and Buy Indian, HUBZone, and other designations comprising less than 1 percent combined.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Program Support Center. The absence of recorded awards since 2010 indicates that the sub-agency is not currently active in federal contracting work, and no forward solicitation activity is present in the rollup. Organizations pursuing contract work with the Program Support Center should verify current procurement intent and capability directly with the sub-agency, as the historical portfolio does not support an active pursue or watch recommendation.
