G.a. Carmichael Family Health Center, Inc.

G.a. Carmichael Family Health Center, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit healthcare provider based in Canton, Mississippi, acts as a federal grant recipient and prime contractor delivering community health services, behavioral health expansion, and research engagement support to the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health. The vendor does not hold seat on federal contract vehicles and operates 73% as a prime recipient or contractor, with 27% of recent work performed as a sub-recipient under larger grant programs.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on rural Mississippi health delivery and research participation. G.a. Carmichael holds a single-award $9.5 million indefinite-delivery contract with the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute for the Jackson Heart Study Community Engagement Center, under which it received a $4.6 million delivery order (issued September 15, 2025, ultimate completion September 14, 2035) to deliver community-based participatory research support, health education, and sustainable community partnership development for the Jackson metropolitan area. As a grant recipient, the vendor won a $350 thousand project grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration under the Delta Health Systems Implementation Program (CFDA 93.619) awarded September 1, 2026, running through August 31, 2027, to strengthen financial sustainability and quality improvement through revenue cycle optimization, grant compliance tracking, 340B program oversight, and Epic EHR analytics deployment. The vendor also received a $600 thousand Year 1 / $500 thousand Year 2 project grant under the FY 2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion program (Health Center Program Grant H80C00484) from the Bureau of Primary Health Care, awarded September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2026, to expand medication-assisted treatment and mental health services across five Mississippi counties including school-based health centers. Earlier awards include participation in the Delta Region Maternal Care Coordination Program (ultimate completion September 29, 2028), the FY 2023 Bridge Access Program, and COVID-19 vaccination expansion initiatives.

Customer concentration is tight within HHS. The Department of Health and Human Services accounts for the vast majority of awards, with the Health Resources and Services Administration leading by volume (16 combined awards across multiple program lines), while the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute anchors all potential value ($14.1 million across two awards). The Federal Emergency Management Agency holds two disaster-grant subawards. Recent activity shows modest growth — two awards in 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026 — with three awards reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months.

In its sub-recipient role, G.a. Carmichael performs under prime grantees including Converge, Inc. (family planning and Title X subawards awarded across 2022 to 2026), the University of Mississippi Medical Center (Mississippi Diabetes Project subaward, July 20, 2026), and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (two disaster-relief subawards in June 2025 totaling $265 thousand). The vendor's work spans community health education, disease prevention coordination, behavioral health service delivery, and compliance and quality improvement infrastructure supporting underserved rural Mississippi populations.
