County Of Anoka

County Of Anoka, Administration Dept. - Anoka County, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Anoka, Minnesota, acts as a prime federal grant recipient and a prime federal contractor for pathology and autopsy services, with a secondary role as a sub-recipient of federal grants passed through state agencies. The county does not hold federal contract vehicles and competes for federal work outside of set-aside categories.

The county's federal footprint splits evenly between prime awards (49% of recent activity) and grant sub-awards (51%). Prime work centers on three concrete capabilities: pathology and autopsy services delivered to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract, and federal grant programs focused on community development, victim services, criminal justice diversion, and senior volunteer engagement. On the contract side, the county holds an IDC with VISN 23 valued at $255,000 through December 2024 under which two delivery orders have been issued — a $22,500 firm fixed-price task order for autopsy services at the St. Cloud VA Hospital awarded January 5, 2024, and a $10,495.83 task order for autopsy services at the Minneapolis VA Hospital, also awarded January 5, 2024. A third autopsy contract, a $51,600 purchase order from the Indian Health Service awarded January 14, 2022 for Red Lake, Minnesota services, extends through January 13, 2027. On the grant side, the county holds three active prime grants: a $216,656 AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program award (CFDA 94.002) from the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management awarded June 24, 2026 running through March 31, 2029; a $500,000 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women under the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (CFDA 16.590) awarded October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027; and multiple Community Development Block Grant awards (CFDA not specified) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development running through 2029–2033.

Customer concentration sits with HUD's Community Development program (19 awards, potential value not itemized in dollar terms in top customers), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (9 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (8 awards), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance (6 awards), which together account for 49% of awards. The Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 23 anchors most of the stated potential value ($265,000 combined across 3 awards). The county also serves 23 distinct federal agencies across grant and contract roles. Sub-grant work flows primarily through the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, the Minnesota Department of Health, and the Minnesota Department of Human Services, with sub-awards focused on crime victim services, child abuse prevention, substance abuse treatment, public health emergency preparedness, and refugee resettlement support.

Activity has declined in recent years — 15 awards in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 year-to-date — with only 2 awards completing in the next twenty-four months ($52,000 combined potential value). The county's contract footprint is minimal relative to its grant work; autopsy services under NAICS 621511 (Medical Laboratories) and PSC Medical-Pathology represent the primary federal contracting exposure. The IDC with VISN 23 expires December 31, 2024 and faces recompete, though the source does not indicate renewal status as of the reference date of October 15, 2026.
