Puerto Rico Department Of Health

The Puerto Rico Department of Health, doing business as Odsi - Linea Interactiva, is a U.S. government entity and recipient of federal grants in vital statistics data collection, public health surveillance, drinking water infrastructure, Medicaid and CHIP administration, WIC program delivery, and maternal and child health services. As a territorial health agency, PRDOH operates as prime recipient on 1,122 awards (98% of portfolio) spanning federal contract work and federal grant programs, with subordinate sub-award activity across multiple agencies.

PRDOH's federal footprint is dominated by formula grant recipients and cooperative agreements. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC Pittsburgh office) is the largest funding source by dollars: 34 awards carry $10.8 million in combined potential value, anchored by the $4.9 million single-award Vital Statistics Cooperative Program (VSCP) indefinite delivery contract running 2022-2026, under which PRDOH delivers vital statistics data collection and processing to support the National Center for Health Statistics through multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders ($187,608 each). Recent CDC contract work includes purchase orders for vital statistics data collection valued at $15,611 (June 2026) and $17,510 (July 2025), both under the VSCP vehicle and supporting 2025-2026 data collection with May 2027 completion.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMCS) anchors the largest dollar volume by program type: PRDOH administers Medicaid entitlement block grants (CFDA 93.778) and CHIP (CFDA 93.767) providing multi-billion-dollar annual allocations to cover medical assistance payments for low-income Puerto Ricans. Recent FY 2026 block grants total $3.597 billion for Medicaid (T19) and $88.7 million for CHIP, distributed quarterly from October 2025 through September 2026. These entitlements dwarf contract dollars and reflect PRDOH's core role as territorial Medicaid administrator.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is a secondary contract customer: PRDOH holds a $1.455 million enumeration-at-birth and race-ethnicity records contract (extended through June 2027) and a $1.367 million electronic death records processing purchase order (ultimate completion December 2028), both firm fixed-price, no set-aside. The Food and Drug Administration awards PRDOH small definitive contracts for human food inspection ($52,620, expired September 2026) and mammography quality standards act programs ($291,304, expired July 2027).

PRDOH's grant portfolio spans HHS programs (maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS housing and surveillance, emergency preparedness, public health crisis response), USDA nutrition (WIC formula grants totaling $138.1 million for food expenses, $34.3 million for administrative costs, $940,083 for breastfeeding peer counselor services, all FY 2026), Department of Education early intervention services for infants and toddlers (CFDA 84.181, $2.614 million for 2024-2025), Environmental Protection Agency drinking water state revolving fund capitalization grants (multiple awards totaling over $222 million for DWSRF infrastructure financing, lead service line replacement, and emerging contaminants including PFAS, running through 2032), and Department of Housing and Urban Development HOPWA formula grants for HIV/AIDS housing assistance ($2.541 million, three-year award through September 2028).

Award concentration by customer shows the top five funding entities (by award count) account for 49% of recent awards; by dollar value, CDC Pittsburgh, FDA, and CMCS drive 59% of combined potential value. PRDOH competes predominantly under full-and-open designations with no set-asides; all named awards carry "No Set-Aside Used" or are entitlement/formula allocations requiring no competition. The portfolio reflects territorial government status, precluding small business set-aside eligibility.

Activity has remained modest in fiscal year 2026 (five awards reported as of mid-July), with 49 awards in 2024 and 33 in 2025. Fifty-one awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and carry combined potential value of $547,000, representing limited recompete cliff exposure. PRDOH's primary NAICS is Administration of Public Health Programs (402 awards). Place of performance concentrates in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with some work in Durham, North Carolina (CDC vital statistics processing). PRDOH administers sub-awards to the Puerto Rico Infrastructure and Financing Authority (PRIFA) for drinking water state revolving fund operations and to municipalities and nonprofit organizations for HOPWA and other grant-funded services. The Puerto Rico Commonwealth of, through its Commission of Volunteerism and Community Service, is the parent organization.
