Association Of Schools And Programs Of Public Health, Inc.

Association Of Schools And Programs Of Public Health, Inc., doing business as Association Of Public Health, operates as a Washington DC-based nonprofit recipient of federal grants and purchase orders, providing workforce development, accreditation services, journal publishing, and research coordination support to health agencies. ASPPH does not compete for contracts as a prime contractor on traditional competitive vehicles; instead, it receives sole-source purchase orders and cooperative agreement grants from federal health agencies that value its role as a convener of 137 graduate schools and programs of public health accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).

ASPPH's federal work clusters across health workforce development, public health research translation, and professional publishing. Recent work includes a $1.045 million sole-source purchase order from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Surgeon General (awarded September 29, 2026, extending through September 2028) to support Public Health Reports in advance of its 150th anniversary, covering publishing, editorial management, open-access support, a USPHS Scientific & Training Symposium exhibit, and creative services. ASPPH also received a $53.7 thousand sole-source purchase order from the same agency (September 30, 2026, completing September 2027) to produce a journal supplement titled "Scientific Foundations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030: Chapter Perspectives and Research Priorities" for Public Health Reports. On the grant side, ASPPH holds a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (awarded August 1, 2024, extending through July 31, 2029) to operate the Tribal Health Department Fellowship Program, addressing workforce capacity gaps in tribal health departments serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. ASPPH also holds a CDC cooperative agreement (September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2027) on enhancing the nation's public health workforce to advance health equity, and a cooperative agreement with the National Center for HIV/AIDS (April 15, 2022 through September 29, 2026) supporting disease intervention specialist certification and infectious disease workforce development.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward health agencies. The top customer by award count is the DOD Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (12 awards, $346 thousand combined potential value), primarily recurring annual accreditation-membership fees of $20 thousand each. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention places the second-largest volume (21 awards across multiple CDC offices totaling $753 thousand combined potential value). By dollar value, the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration leads (3 awards, $1.2 million), followed by the HHS Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (2 awards, $1.1 million). These five customer entities account for 53% of all awards and 89% of combined potential value. Awards are issued exclusively as prime grants and purchase orders; ASPPH has no subcontractor footprint in the source data. The vendor's award portfolio clusters into Educational Support Services (12 awards), Publishing (11 awards), and Professional Organizations (6 awards) by NAICS category. Activity has been sparse in recent years — two awards in 2026, two in 2025, two in 2024 — with combined potential value of $3.8 million across the full 72-award history, though obligated dollars total $155.6 million, indicating substantial historical cash flow on multi-year cooperative agreements. Three awards totaling $1.1 million in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months.
