Council For Alcohol And Drug Abuse Services, Inc.

Council For Alcohol And Drug Abuse Services, Inc., doing business as Cadas, operates as a tax-exempt nonprofit hospital and substance abuse treatment provider based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, competing exclusively in full-and-open federal contracting with no set-aside designations across its prime and subcontracted federal work. Cadas is a prime contractor on 60% of recent federal awards (50 of 84 total) and a sub-recipient on 40%, working primarily for the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services as federal grant sub-recipient.

Cadas's concrete capability footprint centers on outpatient and residential substance abuse treatment, counseling and recovery support services, and peer-certified addiction counseling for individuals involved in the criminal justice system and those with substance use disorders or co-occurring psychiatric conditions. On the federal contracting side, Cadas holds firm fixed-price delivery orders with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office for Counseling and Treatment Services (CTS) in the Chattanooga area—representative recent awards include a $312,090 delivery order issued March 1, 2026 for the period through February 28, 2027, a $353,980 delivery order awarded March 1, 2025 for October 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026, and a $317,930 delivery order awarded March 1, 2025. On the grant side, Cadas acts as sub-recipient under Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services prime grants funding multiple substance abuse treatment and recovery-support programs: the Adolescent Substance Use Disorders Services Program (ASUDSP), the Adult Continuum of Care, the Women's Recovery-Oriented System of Care (WROSC), Addictions Disorder Peer Recovery Support Centers, the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment (ADAT) Program, the Supervised Probation Offender Treatment (SPOT) Program, the Tennessee Prevention Network, and the Community Supervision Peer Recovery Support Project (funded through Bureau of Justice Assistance Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Site-Based Program award 2020-AR-BX-0039).

Cadas's customer concentration is highly concentrated in the Bureau of Prisons Central Office, which accounts for 39 of the vendor's 84 total awards and $8.7 million of combined potential value across all awards—representing 95% of award count concentration. The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services dominates Cadas's grant sub-award footprint, with multiple active sub-awards across behavioral health and recovery-support programming. Secondary federal customers include the Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (11 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (26 combined awards across two separate line entries), and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (4 awards).

Cadas operates under two Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Bureau of Prisons: DJBCTS490 carries 20 task orders with $3.5 million in combined potential value, and DJBTDAT164 holds 12 task orders with $441 thousand in combined potential value. These vehicles anchor Cadas's prime contracting engagement with the Bureau of Prisons.

Activity has accelerated year over year in the recent period—two awards in 2022 rising to sixteen in 2024 and thirteen in 2025—though the vendor faces limited recompete exposure, with only two awards (combined potential value $483 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months. The source notes that combined dollars obligated across all Cadas awards total $15.1 million against combined potential value of $8.7 million, indicating active invoicing and cash flow against committed work.
