District Of Columbia, Government Of

District Of Columbia, Government Of, doing business as District Of Columbia Department Of Health, is a U.S. government entity and child division of the District of Columbia Government that operates as a federal grant recipient in vital statistics data services, public health programming, and nutrition assistance administration. The Department is not a federal contract prime on full-and-open vehicles; it holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the CDC for vital statistics services and receives task orders and purchase orders from federal agencies for data collection, health program administration, and enumeration services. All work is performed in Washington, DC, with administrative oversight vested in the District of Columbia Government's parent entity.

The Department's federal award portfolio centers on data services and public health program administration. Representative contract work includes a $243,816 delivery order from CDC Pittsburgh (April 2026) for National Center for Health Statistics Vital Statistics Program support; a $490,710 purchase order from the Social Security Administration (June 2024) for Enumeration at Birth and Race and Ethnicity records services through June 2029; and an $7,046 purchase order from CDC Pittsburgh (July 2026) for Nationally Notifiable Disease data services under a single-award CDC IDC valued at $6.4 million running through April 2027. Grant work comprises the bulk of the Department's federal funding. Representative prime grants include a $60.5 million Medicaid entitlement block grant from CMS (October 2025) for medical assistance payments to eligible populations; a $50.8 million Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant from HHS Administration for Children and Families (October 2025); a $20 billion Medicaid entitlement block grant from CMS (October 2025); a $17.5 million Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant from HRSA (October 2025); and a $1.3 million Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant from CDC (September 2026). The Department also administers multiple WIC program grants totaling over $16 million annually across food expenses, administrative costs, and breastfeeding peer counselor programming.

Customer concentration is dispersed across health and nutrition agencies. The top five agencies by award count—CDC, HRSA, USDA Food and Nutrition Service (appearing twice due to organizational split), and CMS—account for 41 percent of awards and capture 92 percent of combined potential value. CDC Pittsburgh ranks first by potential value ($13.9 million across 37 awards), followed by the Social Security Administration ($2.1 million across 21 awards). The Department serves 56 distinct federal agencies in total. Major vehicles include a Basic Ordering Agreement with HHS (11 task orders, $1.6 million) and multiple IDCs with HHS and Social Security Administration.

Recent award velocity shows stable annual activity at 34–40 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with 8 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Thirty-eight awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $524 thousand and represent recompete risk. The Department acts as prime on 99 percent of its awards; five sub-awards under prime recipients from George Washington University, Safe States Alliance, Johns Hopkins University, and CHN Nebraska relate to HIV cohort studies, suicide data linkage, WIC eligibility data sharing, and WIC online shopping feasibility research.

Award portfolio concentration by category reflects the Department's operational mandate: Administration of Public Health Programs (24 awards), Computing Infrastructure and Data Processing (44 awards), and General Government Support (13 awards) dominate the NAICS distribution. Top PSC codes are Support–Administrative: Information Retrieval (36 awards) and Support–Management: Data Collection (30 awards). The Department delivers concrete capabilities in vital statistics data collection and analysis, disease surveillance, Medicaid and nutrition program administration, emergency preparedness coordination, and public health infrastructure support across maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis elimination, immunization, cancer prevention, and food assistance programs. No set-asides apply to the Department's federal awards; all work is procured full-and-open as federal award to a government entity.
