National Protection and Programs Directorate

The Department of Homeland Security National Protection and Programs Directorate is a civilian sub-agency within DHS that procures and funds contracts and grants to support protective infrastructure, cybersecurity, and emergency preparedness programs. The Directorate has awarded 1,499 federal contracts totaling $4.71 billion in combined potential value since 2003, with $4.2 billion obligated to date. Contract activity has declined substantially in recent years: the Directorate issued 227 awards in 2015, 298 in 2016, 216 in 2017, 84 in 2018, and 20 in 2019, with the most recent award closing in June 2019 — over seven years ago. No recent contract awards are recorded.

The contract base comprises 350 distinct prime contractors. The portfolio is highly fragmented competitively; the top five primes by recent award count or potential value are not supplied in the source data, but the set-aside mix shows 87 percent of awards carried no set-aside designation, while small business set-asides account for 9 percent, with HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and 8(a) designations (both competitive and sole-source) together representing 4 percent of the portfolio.

Grant activity is minimal and stale. The Directorate has issued seven grant awards totaling $17.1 million in federal dollars obligated since 2007, distributed across five distinct recipients. No grant awards have been issued since November 2011 — over fourteen years ago. The three awards issued in 2011 represent the final recorded grant activity; prior years show two awards in 2009 and two in 2007. The assistance-type mix is split between five Project Grants (71 percent) and two Cooperative Agreements (29 percent).

No recent contract or grant opportunities are recorded against the National Protection and Programs Directorate or its descendant offices. The agency's contract solicitation activity ended before 2020, and no new contracting or grant-making opportunities are currently open. This agency presents no active pursuit opportunity for contract or grant work.
