About this vehicle
SAMHSA established a Master IDIQ on 20 February 2017 to procure feasibility studies, statistical analysis, policy research, communications, technical assistance, and planning and implementation support across six defined domains; ordering closed on 21 August 2022 and is no longer active. The vehicle had a shared ceiling of $1.2 billion and issued 42 task orders over five years, with 61 percent of the combined $645 million potential value obligated to date. Ordering activity peaked in 2018 with 11 awards, then declined unevenly (six orders in 2019, one in 2020, eight in 2021, nine in 2022), signaling exhaustion of the original scope and the approach of vehicle closure.
Competition is concentrated but not tight. Five firms—Westat Inc., National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors Inc., Policy Research Associates Inc., Mathematica Inc., and JBS International Inc.—hold 57 percent of combined potential value, with Westat alone commanding $114.7 million across four orders. The field includes 21 distinct primes. Ordering is functionally single-customer: SAMHSA itself funded 41 of 42 orders worth $592.1 million in combined potential value, with Health Resources and Services Administration funding only one $52.9 million order. Set-asides are rare; 86 percent of orders are unrestricted, 12 percent are small-business totals, and one is partially small-business.
Task orders span $7.1 million to $87 million in ceiling value, with durations typically two to four years. Recent high-value awards include $43.1 million (state program improvement technical assistance, ceiling), $25.6 million (CSAP program evaluation and effectiveness review), and $28.8 million (service members, veterans, and families technical assistance, ceiling). Most awards use Cost Plus Award Fee pricing; a small number use Cost No Fee. The vehicle is now closed to new orders and existing task orders are expiring through 2027, making pursuit of this IDIQ infeasible for new vendors. Existing awardees may still execute remaining task-order work.
