HHS Administration for Community Living

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded a Master IDIQ established April 22, 2024, for feasibility studies, data analysis, communications, technical assistance and training, logistical support, and general services, with ordering authority extending through January 21, 2029.

Ordering momentum has slowed sharply since vehicle establishment. The initial award year (2024) saw 45 task orders issued; 2025 produced 2 orders, and 2026 has yielded 1 order as of late June. The 48 total task orders awarded carry a combined potential value of $53.7 million against a $75 million shared ceiling, with $23.5 million obligated to date (44% of combined potential value). The vehicle remains active with approximately 2.5 years of ordering authority remaining.

Work spans technical assistance to aging services programs, elder justice coordination, adult protective services training and support, long-term care resource centers, and communications functions. Recent orders cover ACL Challenge Project administration ($13.6 million potential value, Partial Small Business, extended through June 2028), No Wrong Door Resource Center long-term technical support ($13.3 million potential value, unrestricted, through September 2029), and Adult Protective Services Technical Assistance Resource Center support ($9.3 million potential value, Partial Small Business, through September 2029). Most orders are firm fixed price or time and materials structures with durations extending two to five years.

Competition is distributed across 36 prime contractors. The Lewin Group, Inc. holds the largest share by potential value at $16.6 million across 3 orders; Mission Analytics Group, Inc. follows with $13.6 million across 2 orders, and Walter R Mcdonald & Associates, Inc. has $13.2 million across 4 orders. The top five primes capture $53.3 million in combined potential value (99% of all awarded value). All 48 task orders fund Administration for Community Living programs; no other federal customer has placed orders under this vehicle.

The set-aside mix is heavily unrestricted. Forty-five orders (94%) carry no set-aside designation; 3 orders (6%) are designated Partial Small Business. Minimum guarantee orders issued at vehicle award (each $500) have already expired as of their March 2024 completion dates.

The IDIQ contracts cover six functional areas including feasibility studies, data analysis, communications, technical assistance and training, logistical support, and general services.
