County Of Amador

County Of Amador, doing business as Mental Health Services, is a California county government entity that receives federal mental health and substance abuse grant funding as a sub-recipient through the California Department of Health Care Services, not as a prime contractor or direct federal grantee. The county operates exclusively in a sub-recipient capacity across its federal footprint — all five awards in the source are grant sub-awards — and serves a single federal customer, the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

County Of Amador's federal award activity centers on three distinct SAMHSA grant programs, all flowing through California DHCS as the prime grantee. The sub-recipient awards include the Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG), the Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG), and American Rescue Plan Act funding within the SABG (SABG ARPA). Recent awards span July 2022 through July 2025, with sub-awards dated July 1, 2022 under SABG, SABG ARPA, and MHBG, and two additional sub-awards dated July 1, 2025 under SUBG and MHBG. Combined obligated dollars across all five sub-awards total $1.1 million. The county's role is to administer and deliver local mental health and substance abuse services using federal pass-through funding allocated by the state health department, rather than to compete for or hold federal contracts.

Activity is sparse and episodic — three awards in 2022 and two in 2025, with no intermediate awards reported — reflecting the cyclical nature of block-grant reallocation through state health agencies. County Of Amador has no prime federal contracts, no seats on government-wide vehicles, and no subcontracting relationships with federal contractors. As a local government entity receiving block-grant sub-awards, the county is not a market participant for federal contractors; it is a downstream service provider executing federal mental health policy through California's grant pass-through structure.
