American Hospital Association

American Hospital Association (AHA), through its American Society for Healthcare Engineering Division doing business as Aha, is a non-profit healthcare organization that delivers federal contracts as a prime contractor across data licensing, healthcare training, professional memberships, and conference registration services. AHA competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint and operates from Chicago, Illinois as the parent entity with six named subsidiaries including Health Forum LLC, Health Research and Educational Trust, and Aha Services Inc.

AHA's federal customer base is highly concentrated by dollar value. The Department of Veterans Affairs Headquarters anchors the portfolio with 8 awards worth $8.6 million in combined potential value, driven by a $3.54 million definitive contract awarded in August 2022 for institutional memberships in professional membership groups serving VA hospitals and medical centers through December 2026. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service ranks second with 22 awards totaling $2.1 million, predominantly structured as BPA calls for National Fire Protection Association code training and Occupational and Environmental Health Engineering training. By award count, Defense Logistics Agency leads with 65 awards, though these carry substantially lower unit values; IHS (22 awards), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (19 awards), CDC (13 awards), and NIH Clinical Center (11 awards) comprise the remainder of the top five. These five agencies account for 27% of all awards and 54% of combined potential value across the footprint. The two customer rankings diverge sharply — DLA's volume does not translate to dollar concentration, while VA's smaller count (8 awards) dominates dollars — signaling that AHA's federal business splits between high-value membership and data contracts with VA and high-volume, lower-value training and data purchases across health agencies.

AHA's primary capability portfolio consists of healthcare data licensing (Annual Survey of Hospitals Database, DataQuery application seats, hospital analytics), professional membership dues and services to federal agencies, NFPA code compliance training delivered to Indian Health Service facilities in Albuquerque New Mexico, and ASHE Certified Healthcare Facility Manager training. Representative prime awards include the $3.54 million VA definitive contract for institutional memberships (base plus four one-year options through December 2026), a $428.9 million five-year Indian Health Service membership and data-fees purchase order (base year plus four option periods through December 2028) awarded January 1, 2024, a $230.4 thousand CDC Pittsburgh data purchase awarded December 2023 for hospital data services (completion December 5, 2026), multiple BPA calls from Indian Health Service ranging from $23.8 thousand to $73.3 thousand for NFPA code training and healthcare construction workshops, and recurring annual membership dues purchases from NIH Clinical Center, Department of Health and Human Services Headquarters, and VA Headquarters in the $11.8 thousand to $46 thousand range.

AHA holds positions on five parent vehicles. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (SP020096D7112) carries 13 task orders; a second IDC (SP020096D7124) carries 10 task orders. Three BPAs complete the vehicle portfolio: a $315 thousand Indian Health Service BPA for NFPA code training (January 2022 through April 2025) with 6 task orders, a $250 thousand Indian Health Service BPA for OEHE training (January 2026 through February 2027) with at least one $135 thousand call on record, and a $123 thousand BPA with 5 task orders. Award data does not specify the issuing agencies for the two large IDCs, limiting visibility into their broader customer reach.

Activity has remained flat year-over-year across the past five years, averaging roughly six prime awards annually (2022–2026: 5, 9, 7, 7, 5 awards). Four awards with combined potential value of $3.9 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure for AHA. The top NAICS categories reflect AHA's core positioning: 82 awards fall under Business Associations (NAICS 813910), 25 under Professional and Management Development Training, 24 under Professional Organizations, and 21 under Voluntary Health Organizations. The top PSC category (Education/Training — Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees) accounts for 133 awards, followed by Medical and Surgical Instruments (59 awards) and Books and Pamphlets (26 awards), confirming that AHA's federal revenue derives predominantly from data licensing, membership fees, and training registration rather than contract services. AHA holds one named grant sub-award as a sub-recipient under Brigham and Women's Hospital for cognitive testing and survey processing work on a federally funded research project (August 2023), representing minimal grant footprint.
