Alabama Department Of Rehabilitation Services

Alabama Department Of Rehabilitation Services (doing business as Adrs), a U.S. state government entity and child agency of the Alabama Department of Public Health, operates predominantly as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) providing food service operations and dining facility management to military installations, federal emergency management facilities, and disability rehabilitation and early intervention grant services to the Department of Education and Administration on Disabilities. The organization competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Adrs's federal award portfolio splits starkly between two capability streams. The first and larger stream is food services and dining facility management at military bases and federal facilities: Adrs holds task orders under multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Army Sustainment Command for full food service operations at Fort Novosel, Fort Rucker, and Fort McClellan in Alabama, covering meal preparation, food receiving and storage, food serving, field feeding, and facility sanitation. Representative contracts include a $37.06 million definitive contract with Air Education and Training Command for full food services at Maxwell and Gunter Air Force Bases (ultimate completion September 30, 2027), a $21.3 million definitive contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for dining facilities and food service management at the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston (ultimate completion August 31, 2029), and a $12.36 million definitive contract with the U.S. Coast Guard for full food and janitorial services at the Coast Guard Aviation Training Center in Mobile (ultimate completion July 31, 2030). A single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $12.2 million with the Alabama National Guard for Fort McClellan dining facility services runs through January 31, 2031. The second stream comprises federal formula grants for vocational rehabilitation, early intervention, assistive technology, and independent living services: Adrs is the designated state vocational rehabilitation agency and receives recurring formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (CFDA 84.126 for state vocational rehabilitation services, CFDA 84.181 for infants and families early intervention, CFDA 84.177 for independent living services for older individuals who are blind, CFDA 84.187 for supported employment services for individuals with the most significant disabilities), the Administration for Community Living (CFDA 93.464 for assistive technology), and the Administration on Disabilities for traumatic brain injury support coordination. Recent formula grant awards include $85.9 million for FY2026 state vocational rehabilitation services (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), $7.57 million for early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities (July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), and $697,563 for assistive technology initiatives (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027).

Customer concentration is extremely high and split by capability. Food services work centers on the Department of the Army (through multiple organizational components: the Army National Guard accounts for 678 awards with $23.6 million combined potential value, the Army Sustainment Command carries 18 awards with $112.3 million combined potential value, and the Army proper accounts for 62 awards with $6.1 million combined potential value), the Air Force (13 awards, with Air Education and Training Command anchoring $165.4 million in potential value across five awards), the Coast Guard (eight awards, $44 million combined potential value), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (two awards, $50.6 million combined potential value). Together these five customer entities account for 89% of Adrs's combined potential value across all awards. Disability and rehabilitation grant work flows entirely from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (124 formula and project awards in the source).

Adrs places the bulk of its task-order volume under five Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Army: W912JA04D0002 (457 task orders, $4.8 million combined potential value), W912JA09D0001 (242 task orders, $7 million combined potential value), DABT0297D0003 (50 task orders), W9124G14D0002 (nine task orders, $27.8 million combined potential value), and W9124J20D0005 (five task orders, $25.9 million combined potential value). These vehicles account for the vast majority of Adrs's food services delivery footprint.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year over the past five years (nine awards in 2022, ten in 2023, twelve in 2024, ten in 2025, and three through early April 2026), and nine awards with combined potential value of $37.1 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting a moderate recompete cliff. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor; the source documents only six sub-awards spanning grant sub-awards from the Alabama Department of Health (three sub-awards for maternal and child health block grant funding for children with special health care needs), the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education (two PDG-B5 planning grants), and Hemophilia of Georgia (one bleeding disorders network sub-award).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $15.6 million over FY2022–FY2024 ($4.5 million in FY2022, $6.3 million in FY2023, $4.8 million in FY2024), with a median government-paid hourly rate of $69.77 per hour (ranging from $52.86 at the 10th percentile to $82.18 at the 90th percentile). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 92 percent of total contractor hours, with eight named subcontractors reported. The FTE trajectory reported in SCI shows 2.9 FTEs in FY2022, 2.9 FTEs in FY2023, and 2.4 FTEs in FY2024 — a partial and conservative measure reflecting only SCI-reportable service contracts and not capturing the full scale of Adrs's food services delivery workforce across its military dining facility operations. Adrs's corporate positioning as a state government agency under the Alabama Department of Public Health gives it standing to compete for federal food services contracts and grants without SBA set-aside constraints, anchoring its competitive posture in demonstrated operational capability at military and federal facilities rather than in small-business or socioeconomic designations.
