Office of Health Affairs

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Health Affairs is a civilian sub-agency within DHS that procures health and medical services and capabilities in support of the department's operational and workforce health mission. The Office of Health Affairs operates as a centralized health-policy and procurement entity within DHS's organizational structure.

Contract activity at the Office of Health Affairs is limited and sporadic. The agency has issued 7 federal contract awards since 2013, with combined potential value of $7.2 million and combined dollars obligated of $6.6 million (92% of combined potential value). Award volume was lightest in 2013 and 2016 (one award each), elevated in 2014 (two awards), and concentrated in 2017 (three awards); no awards are recorded after 2017. The most recent recorded award closed on September 11, 2017. Across the portfolio history, six distinct prime contractors have been awarded.

Competitive concentration is highly fragmented. With six prime contractors across seven total awards, no single vendor dominates the portfolio. The set-aside mix skews heavily toward open competition: six awards (86%) carried no set-aside designation, while one award (14%) was issued as an 8(a) sole-source contract.

The absence of recorded awards in the eight years since 2017 suggests either minimal ongoing procurement activity or a significant shift in how the Office of Health Affairs sources health and medical services. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Office of Health Affairs. Given the dormancy in award activity and the lack of open solicitations, pursuit of contract opportunities at this office is not currently warranted unless forward intelligence indicates renewed procurement activity.
