Clay County

Clay County, doing business as County Of Clay, is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Moorhead, Minnesota that receives federal contracts and grants as a prime contractor and sub-recipient, delivering clinical detoxification services to veterans and substance-abuse prevention and victim-services programming through state intermediaries. The vendor operates entirely outside set-aside vehicles and carries negligible prime-contract footprint (9% of recent awards), with 91% of federal activity flowing through sub-grant positions under state departments of human services, public safety, transportation, and health.

Clay County's federal prime work is concentrated in a single customer and capability domain. The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 has awarded the county a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $108,578 running through August 2029 for clinical detoxification services performed in Moorhead. Two delivery orders have been issued against this vehicle: a $15,136 firm-fixed-price order completed in February 2026 and a $24,080 order with completion targeted for February 2027. These three awards (one IDC plus two delivery orders) account for 100% of Clay County's stated combined potential value and represent all prime federal contracting activity in the source data.

Clay County's grant sub-recipient footprint dwarfs its direct federal contracting by volume and recency. The county acts as sub-recipient under 39 federal grant sub-awards from state prime grantees, primarily the Minnesota Department of Human Services (16 awards spanning substance-abuse prevention and treatment, family-first transition implementation, and community-based child-abuse prevention funded through HHS SAMHSA and ACF), the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (10 awards for victim services and emergency management), the Minnesota Department of Transportation (3 awards for county highway and bridge rehabilitation), and the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (2 awards for preventive health services block grants). This grant activity covers the same time window as prime contracting — awards running from October 2021 through September 2025 — but the two portfolios do not overlap in customer alignment. Of the 43 total awards in the source data, VISN 23 claims 4 (all contracts) while HHS SAMHSA, DOJ OJP, and HHS ACF together account for 25 (all sub-grant awards).

Activity accelerated through 2024 (12 awards) and remained steady in 2025 (11 awards) before flattening in 2026 (1 award to date). The combined potential value across all 43 awards stands at $158 thousand, but obligated dollars total $3.9 million, indicating substantial invoicing against smaller-ceiling sub-grant awards. The one award facing recompete in the next twenty-four months is the $24,080 delivery order with February 2027 completion. Clay County does not hold seat on multi-agency IDIQs or GWACs; its only named parent vehicle is an indefinite delivery contract (36C26325D0031) generating two task orders worth $39 thousand combined. Top NAICS categories reflect the substance-abuse and mental-health focus: Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers (3 awards) and Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities (1 award).
