Father Bill's & Mainspring, Inc.

Father Bill's & Mainspring, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Brockton, Massachusetts, provides recuperative care, emergency residential services, case management, and housing assistance for homeless individuals, families, and veterans as a prime recipient of federal grants (85% of recent awards) and as a subrecipient under HUD and state grant programs. The organization operates with minimal federal contract exposure and no SBA set-aside designations; its federal footprint is almost entirely grant-funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program and specialized service contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Father Bill's & Mainspring's customer concentration is stark. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development anchors 61 of 87 total awards (70% by count), with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 supplying the remaining 15 awards and all $12.2 million in combined potential value across the federal contract portfolio. The two customer rankings diverge sharply: HUD dominates by award volume but carries minimal contract value (HUD awards are nearly all small grants), while VA's 15 awards concentrate $12.2 million in recuperative care and residential emergency services for homeless veterans. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service account for three awards combined with negligible value.

Father Bill's & Mainspring holds task order positions on multiple VA indefinite delivery vehicles: VA24113D0181 (3 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value), VA24116D0004 (2 task orders, $987 thousand), VA241P2063 (2 task orders, $236 thousand), and VA24113D0087 (1 task order, $144 thousand). Representative contract work includes a $729,430 recuperative care purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (performance period September 2023 through August 2028, with SCI-reported invoicing of $170 thousand in FY2025 against 0.2 FTEs) and a $3.77 million Boston Healthcare System Residential Emergency Contract Program award from the same agency (base period March 2023 through March 2028, with FY2025 SCI activity of $610 thousand across 2.6 FTEs invoiced at a blended rate of $113.65 per hour, including one subcontractor accounting for 39 percent of contractor hours). Federal grant work centers on HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), for which the organization has secured annual awards since at least 2022; recent grants include $1.246 million (awarded July 2026, performance through June 2027) and $203,089 (awarded June 2026, performance through May 2027) for permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services in the Brockton area. Father Bill's & Mainspring also acts as a subrecipient under HUD Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) funding for rapid rehousing and street outreach services statewide in Massachusetts, and under Department of Health and Human Services and city of Boston grants for substance use disorder services and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS information services.

Award activity has remained light and flat over the past five years (ranging from three to seven awards annually), with four awards carrying combined potential value of $4.5 million facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $1.4 million across FY2023–FY2025 (FY2023: $601 thousand across 0.7 FTEs; FY2025: $780 thousand across 2.8 FTEs), with government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts ranging from a median of $245.53 per hour to $451.52 per hour at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 4 percent of contractor hours, with one named subcontractor identified in the dataset. Father Bill's & Mainspring operates almost exclusively as a prime recipient under grant and contract vehicles and does not appear as a named subcontractor in federal awards.
