Comprehensive Health Insurance Association

Alaska Comprehensive Health Insurance Association, a U.S. state government entity, operates as a sub-recipient under Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act, administering Alaska's State Innovation Waiver reinsurance program with funding flow from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services through the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development. The vendor holds no federal prime contracts or IDVs; all nine recent awards appear as sub-grant work under state intermediation (89% of awards), with a single prime designation in the portfolio.

All federal funding derives from a single customer agency — the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — which accounts for 100% of recent awards and has obligated $784.1 million across the nine-award footprint. Recent sub-grant work cycles through the Alaska Reinsurance Program under consecutive Section 1332 State Innovation Waivers, with five documented sub-awards spanning 2022 through June 2025. The most recent sub-grant award dates to June 26, 2025, reflecting active program continuation. Award frequency has remained modest — one award in 2025, one in 2024, one in 2023, two in 2022, and one in 2020 — suggesting an annual or biennial recompete cycle rather than continuous task-order issuance. The vendor's role centers on administering state health insurance market stabilization and reinsurance operations under the federal waiver framework, channeling CMS funding into Alaska's high-risk health insurance pool and reinsurance mechanisms. No competitive posture information, set-aside designations, or NAICS coding appears in the source. As a state entity rather than a private vendor, Alaska Comprehensive Health Insurance Association does not hold standard SBA certifications and competes outside typical federal contracting vehicles; its participation is circumscribed to federally authorized state innovation waivers and state health program administration.
