Andrews Center

Andrews Center, doing business as Andrews Diversified Industries, is a U.S. local government entity based in Tyler, Texas that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants and as a sub-recipient under pass-through grants from state agencies. The organization functions as a local mental health authority (LMHA) serving Henderson, Rains, Smith, Van Zandt, and Wood counties in East Texas, with a primary capability portfolio in community behavioral health services, crisis intervention, substance use disorder treatment, and mental health outreach — work grounded in SAMHSA and Veterans Affairs funding.

Andrews Center holds two active SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services prime grant awards. The most recent is a $573,600 Project Grant (CFDA 93.532, Centers for Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance) awarded September 30, 2026, with performance through September 29, 2031, under which Andrews Center establishes a regional early diversion coalition and youth crisis outreach team to identify and serve youth ages three to 17 experiencing behavioral health crises, with an anticipated first-year reach of 458 youth and cumulative five-year reach of 2,531 youth. A second SAMHSA prime award — a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Improvement and Advancement (CCBHC-IA) grant dated September 30, 2023, completion September 29, 2027 — targets substance misuse and suicide prevention by expanding mobile crisis outreach, psychiatry, care coordination, and substance use disorder treatment staffing and improving data collection and decision-making for children, adolescents, and adults with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, and serious emotional disturbance.

Andrews Center receives the majority of its federal funding through sub-grant pass-throughs from the Health and Human Services Commission of Texas, the prime recipient of multiple federal grants. Over the past three years, Andrews Center has received sub-award funding for mental health first aid, jail-based competency restoration, substance abuse intervention and treatment, mental health coordinated specialty care, and transition support specialist programs (dating back to at least September 2023). The organization also received a sub-award via the University of Texas at Austin for the Advancing the Early Psychosis Intervention Network in Texas (EPINET-TX) and a crisis intervention equipment project sub-award from the Texas Office of the Governor. Total awards across all sources number 73, with 66% prime and 34% sub-recipient positions. The combined potential value across the portfolio is $5.8 million, though obligated dollars total $23.8 million, reflecting multi-year grant commitments with cumulative invoiced performance exceeding stated ceiling amounts.

Customer concentration centers on health and behavioral health agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration accounts for 14 prime and sub awards, the Department of Veterans Affairs 13 awards with particular concentration in Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 ($5.7 million combined potential value), and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service 10 awards. Work categorization reflects the organization's mission: Other Individual and Family Services dominates the NAICS footprint (19 awards), with Temporary Shelters and Vocational Rehabilitation Services each representing 7 awards. At the PSC level, Medical-Other accounts for 27 awards, Housekeeping-Custodial Janitorial 10, and Social-Other 7. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. Recent activity shows variability (1 award in 2020, 10 in 2023, 2 in 2024, 11 in 2025, 4 in 2026), with the growth period 2023–2025 driven by sub-awards under the Health and Human Services Commission of Texas pass-through structure.
