Dccca Inc.

Dccca Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas, operates as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient focused on community-based mental health, substance use prevention, and family preservation services across Kansas and Oklahoma. The vendor holds four prime federal grants and participates as a sub-recipient on 105 federal awards, placing it predominantly in a sub-grant role (96% of recent activity) flowing through state agencies rather than direct federal contracting.

Dccca's capability portfolio centers on evidence-based community interventions in three primary areas: youth substance use prevention and coalition-building; mental health awareness training and first-aid instruction; and family preservation and foster-care prevention services. Representative prime work includes a $250,000 award from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Drug-Free Communities Support Program (CFDA 93.276) granted July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, to establish and strengthen the Engage Douglas County community coalition addressing youth substance use prevention across Douglas County, Kansas. Dccca also holds a completed grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Mental Health Services (award date December 31, 2022, completion September 29, 2026) to deliver Mental Health First Aid training in partnership with the University of Central Oklahoma to campus staff, faculty, students, and families ages 18–25. The vendor claims over forty years of experience in community training related to mental health and substance use, and has spent more than five years as a sub-grantee delivering opioid misuse prevention education through the Oklahoma Department of Mental and Substance Abuse Services.

Sub-grant activity dominates the footprint and reveals concentration in state-administered federal programs. The top five customer agencies account for 90% of recent awards: the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (40 awards across multiple sub-recipients); the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (28 awards); and the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (30 awards across two sub-grantee lines). Sub-grants flow predominantly through the Kansas Department for Children and Families (family preservation, foster-care prevention, and youth council services across Kansas City, Wichita, and northeast regions), the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (substance use prevention, naloxone distribution, fentanyl test strip programs, and suicide prevention training), and the Kansas Department of Transportation (traffic safety resource office work and occupant protection surveys). A secondary stream routes through the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services for community-based opioid and stimulant prevention services in Oklahoma County.

Activity has grown substantially year over year, from six awards in 2022 to thirty-two in 2025, with twenty awards recorded in 2026 through mid-July. Combined dollars obligated across all 109 awards total $36.5 million. The vendor operates at the intersection of federal grant programs and state intermediary agencies; it does not sit on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, and competes solely on sub-award opportunities flowing through state departments that administer federal grants.
