About this agency
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a sub-agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, finances substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and recovery support programs through both federal contracts and grants to state, local, tribal, and community-based providers nationwide.
SAMHSA operates on a substantially larger grant-making footprint than contract purchasing. The agency has obligated $170.37 billion in federal grant funds across 28,200 awards since 1998, compared to $6.97 billion in combined potential value across 1,859 contract awards since 1985. Grant activity has declined significantly in recent years: 1,940 awards in 2022, 1,748 in 2023, 1,251 in 2024, 399 in 2025, and 498 year-to-date in 2026. Contract award volume has been volatile—28 awards in 2022, 46 in 2023, 30 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 18 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent award dated September 30, 2026.
Grant recipients are highly fragmented; the top five by award count hold only 3 percent of recent awards and include Health Services Kentucky Cabinet For (36 awards, $815.7 million federal dollars), Tennessee Department Of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services (33 awards, $1.03 billion federal dollars), and Administracion De Servicios De Salud Mental Y Contra La Adiccion (32 awards, $648.1 million federal dollars). By federal dollars, the top five hold 8 percent, led by California Department Of Health Care Services ($5.78 billion across 27 awards) and Health & Human SVC Commn TX ($3.58 billion across 27 awards). Grant funding is distributed predominantly as Project Grants (58 percent of awards), with Block Grants (17 percent), Cooperative Agreements (13 percent), and Formula Grants (12 percent) making up the remainder.
Contract competition is moderately concentrated; the top five primes by award count hold 20 percent of recent awards: SOLE Solutions Inc. (6 awards, $1.7 million combined potential value), Hendall Inc. (6 awards, $77.4 million), Carahsoft Technology Corp (5 awards, $2.5 million), Policy Research Associates, Inc. (5 awards, $65.8 million), and Westat, Inc. (4 awards, $84.2 million). By potential value, the top five hold 8 percent, dominated by Research Triangle Institute ($297.1 million across 3 awards). Three-quarters of contract awards carry no set-aside designation; 22 percent are small-business set-asides, with minimal use of 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, or other socioeconomic preferences.
Recent grant solicitations posted September 3, 2026 target state substance-abuse agencies and hospitals (State Pilot Program for Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women, TI-27-003; Emergency Department Alternatives to Opioids Program, TI-27-005), nonprofits and governments (Residential Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women, TI-27-002), and local and state entities (Children's Mental Health Initiative, SM-27-003; Assisted Outpatient Treatment, SM-27-002). Narrower-eligibility opportunities target universities and health professionals (Providers Clinical Support System—Universities, TI-27-001), recovery community organizations (Building Communities of Recovery, TI-27-004), and higher-education institutions (GLS Campus Suicide Prevention, SM-27-001).
