Anderson Oconee Behavioral Health Services

Anderson Oconee Behavioral Health Services, a U.S. local government entity (county-based) headquartered in Anderson, South Carolina, operates as a sub-recipient on federal substance-use-disorder treatment and prevention grants administered through the South Carolina Department of Alcohol & Other Drug Abuse Services. The organization holds no prime federal contract or grant awards; all seven federal awards in the recent footprint are sub-awards under SAMHSA grant programs flowing from the state agency.

The vendor's federal customer base is singular: the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) accounts for 100% of awards, all seven sub-awards channeled through South Carolina's alcohol and drug abuse services department as the prime grantee. Activity is recent and steady — three sub-awards in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2025 — with combined federal dollars obligated at $4 million across the footprint. The most recent sub-award, dated September 22, 2025, funds the South Carolina State Opioid Response Project (SC SOR Project), addressing opioid and stimulant use disorder through prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery; two other awards under the same project also appear in the footprint. Additional sub-awards from July 2023 and August 2025 fund outpatient and intensive outpatient substance-use-disorder treatment services, as well as broader treatment access and support initiatives targeting low-income and uninsured populations. The organization's service delivery occurs within the South Carolina Department of Alcohol & Other Drug Abuse Services' catchment area.

Anderson Oconee Behavioral Health Services operates exclusively as a sub-recipient in a vertical supply chain anchored by state-level grant administration rather than as a federal contractor or direct federal grant awardee. The organization's capability portfolio is concrete and tightly scoped: outpatient and intensive outpatient substance-use-disorder clinical services, treatment access improvement, recovery support, and opioid-response programming. As a county-level government entity with no federal contracting authority and no parent-contract-vehicle positions, Anderson Oconee is not a vehicle for teaming arrangements or federal procurement posture outside the SAMHSA grant-to-state-to-provider model.
