Assistant Secretary for Administration

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Administration is a sub-agency civilian office that acquires facilities, administrative services, real estate management, and operational support for HUD headquarters and field operations. The office has issued 822 federal contract awards since 1979, with combined potential value of $998.2 million and $792 million in obligated dollars (79% of potential value), across 313 distinct prime contractors.

Recent award activity has been volatile: 39 awards in 2022, 63 in 2023, 58 in 2024, 20 in 2025, and 29 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is September 30, 2026. Over the last five years, competitive concentration by award count is moderately concentrated—Knoll, Inc. holds 43 of the top-five primes' recent awards and $18 million combined potential value, followed distantly by Graebel Companies, Inc. with 12 awards and $1.7 million, and Matos Builders LLC with 10 awards and $5.2 million. However, concentration by potential value is highly fragmented: AAA Complete Building Services Inc. and Melwood Horticultural Training Center, Inc. each hold only two awards but command $55.3 million and $44.5 million respectively, indicating that the office allocates the majority of its dollar volume through a small number of large, episodic facilities or horticultural-services awards rather than steady-state procurements. The long tail of 308 primes outside the top five reflects significant vendor diversity.

The set-aside portfolio is dominated by unrestricted awards: 74 percent of all awards carry no set-aside designation. Small Business set-asides account for 13 percent of awards (106 total), with 8(a) Sole Source representing 5 percent (41 awards). Woman-Owned Small Business, Competitive 8(a), HUBZone Sole Source, and Partial Small Business designations together represent less than 1 percent of volume. This heavily unrestricted mix reflects the office's focus on acquisition of specialized facilities management and building services that may be less amenable to small-business competition than commodities or standard services.
